Seventy years ago, Dartmouth made history when Professor John McCarthy, Marvin Minsky, and their colleagues gathered at Dartmouth to collaborate on research. The group coined the term "Artificial Intelligence” and played out the field of AI and machine learning. Now, as we celebrate that legacy, we're bringing the conversation full circle with a fireside chat that asks: what happens when AI stops creating content and starts running businesses?

As part of the 70th Anniversary Celebration of AI at Dartmouth join us for a conversation with:

Alan Trefler D'77, Founder & CEO of Pegasystems and Larry Weber, CEO of Racepoint Global and Pega Board Member

Together, they'll explore questions that define the next decade of business:

As AI agents take over execution, what's the new role of the MBA? (Hint: "Business Architect" who designs outcomes, not processes)
How do you build trust and reputation when machines are doing the talking?
What happens to organizational design when the "middle layer" of work gets automated?
How do companies balance the efficiency of autonomous systems with ethical responsibility?
