In Alec Ross’s Twitter feed, there’s a picture of a baby with the caption, “Mom! Dad! There’s a 65% chance I will work in a job type that doesn’t even exist yet.” Ross knows a thing or two about predicting how technology will shape the future. He served as then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s senior advisor of innovation, traveling to 41 countries observing the economic impact of digital technologies. In his new book, “The Industries of the Future,” he talks about navigating the pros and cons of everything from robotics to cybersecurity

Guests:

Alec Ross, distinguished visiting fellow, John Hopkins University; former Senior Advisor for Innovation to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton; author of "The Industries of the Future."
