Harnessing Our Digital Future


The Future, Now

by David Meyer

Research scientist Andrew McAfee and management specialist Erik Brynjolfsson break down the technological movements that are creating the future today.

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.
