Ending Poverty with Technology
Will robots, automation, and technology eliminate work and increase poverty? Or can technology instead be used to reduce – perhaps even end – poverty? The CPI’s Poverty and Technology Lab will be rolled out with a new course, led by CPI director David Grusky, in which students are asked to design and build interventions to reduce poverty. Enrollment opens on Sunday, Oct. 30.
