“I’m excited about the range of incredible speakers who will be engaging in these four ambitious proposals,” says conference co-host Daniel E. Ho, Stanford Law School professor and Stanford HAI associate director. “Proposers include public intellectuals like Frank Fukuyama and rising stars like Deb Raji, and the panels represent a true range of backgrounds, from politicians to social scientists, and technologists to technology skeptics.”

Here conference hosts Ho and Erik Brynjolfsson, faculty director of the Stanford Digital Economy Lab and senior fellow at HAI, discuss the purpose of the event, who should attend, and what they mean by “radical.”
