Join the Adam Smith Society on Tuesday, March 17, for a forward-looking conversation on how rapidly advancing artificial intelligence is reshaping the future of work, talent, and the global economy. Danny Crichton — partner at Lux Capital and a leading analyst on technology, innovation and policy — will unpack the forces driving the “Intelligence Age,” from AI-native companies to automation-driven market shifts.

Through the lens of OpenClaw, OpenAI and other emerging technologies, Crichton will explore what skills will matter most, which industries are poised for reinvention, and how organizations can adapt to a world where intelligence is abundant and human capability is being redefined.

Whether you’re curious, cautious or optimistic about what comes next, this event offers a clear-eyed look at how talent and opportunity will evolve in an AI-driven future. A Q&A will follow the talk, offering attendees the chance to engage directly with Crichton and dive deeper into the ideas shaping tomorrow’s talent landscape.

This complimentary session is open to students, alumni, staff and the general community.
