As AI continues to reshape the global economy, we find ourselves at a crossroads. Will technology become an engine for shared prosperity, or will it, as Nobel laureate Prof. Joe Stiglitz warns, "turbocharge inequality" by empowering tech oligarchs at the expense of the workforce?

Columbia is proud to invite you to an exclusive evening in Rome with CBS Professor Stephan Meier.

Drawing from his latest book, The Employee Advantage: How Putting Workers First Helps Business Thrive, Prof. Meier will challenge the narrative of automation-driven displacement. He will discuss why the most successful organizations in the AI era won't be those that replace humans, but those that place employee value at the heart of their strategy.
