The famous computer scientist, Alan Kay, once said, “The best way to predict the future is to invent it.” As such, we are all responsible for inventing the future we hope that we and our descendants will experience. In this highly interactive course, we will be exploring how to predict and invent the future, and why this is important, by focusing on eight different frontier technologies, such as robotics, AI and machine learning, genomics and digital biology, autonomous vehicles, digital manufacturing, industrial internet of things, and VR/AR.The class will feature debates in which we present utopian and dystopian scenarios, and will include class guests who are inventing the future right now.
