Agentic AI and the Invisible Hand: Implications for Human Dignity and Community?
“Agentic AI and the Invisible Hand 2.0: Implications for Innovation, Dignity and Community ”
MIT-Stanford Round Table (Co-sponsored by the NANDA Collaborative at MIT)
On the 250th Anniversary of Adam Smith’s, “Wealth of Nations,” which introduced the concept of the Invisible Hand of the market, we invite you to join us for an inter-disciplinary discussion of AI’s implications for human well-being across three domains.
1. Innovation: What can we learn from the principles of Adam Smith and the experience of the Industrial Revolution? Under what conditions could AI agents promote or limit innovation?
2. Dignity: Might agentic AI replace skills, jobs, and/or sectors? What are the consequent implications for human agency and dignity? For human health and welfare?
3. Community: How might agentic AI enhance or impair meaningful entrusted relationships, at the level of individuals and communities? For economic systems? For a shared, civic purpose?
