Examining the global impact of technology
Innovation for Jobs Summit
The Innovation for Jobs Summit is an annual two day international conference of leaders from the fields of government, business, technology, academia and media looking for ways to harness technological innovation to produce better and more meaningful jobs for more people. One of the themes of the summit is that society is organized into vertical “silos” such as government, the corporate world and the educational system, and these silos have difficulty cooperating with each other to resolve societal problems. Future Talk attended the conference in both 2014 and 2013 at the headquarters of SRI International in Menlo Park, California, and we interviewed numerous speakers and attendees. Below are links to the interviews, edited for length. Just click on any picture to see the interview. Your feedback is always welcome!
