The New Economic Order With AI - Economics

Public Autumn Series 2025

From fake news to robot co-workers, artificial intelligence is no longer on the horizon, it’s here, and it’s already changing how we live, work, and relate to each other. This autumn, the School of Social Sciences and Philosophy brings together leading voices to explore what this disruption means for society, democracy, and the future of human life. Across four thought-provoking evenings, we ask where AI is taking us- and whether we’re ready.

Will AI reshape the global economy, or just widen the gap?

AI is transforming workplaces and boosting productivity, but it also threatens to deepen inequality and create “winner takes all” markets. Join economist Dr Jian Cao as he explores the ripple effects of an AI-driven economy and how societies and governments can adapt. Can we harness this power without leaving people behind?
