Research scientist Andrew McAfee and management specialist Erik Brynjolfsson – co-directors of the MIT Initiative on the Digital Economy – are the only people named to both the Thinkers 50 list of the world’s top management thinkers and the Politico 50 list of people transforming American politics.

These best-selling authors and disruptive thinkers provide a detailed overview of how digital technologies are transforming business competition and reshaping the economy. McAfee and Brynjolfsson’s diffuse overview covers the evolution of machine learning, the advantages of data-driven over human decision-making and the economics of business in the age of intelligent machines.
