Introduction

The 4th annual Congress was a virtual event that featured the final report from the MIT Task Force on the Work of the Future. Hosted by MIT's Task Force on Work of the Future, CSAIL, and Initiative on the Digital Economy, this year's Congress highlighted research findings from the MIT Task Force on Work of the Future's final report released in November 2020. Given the rapidly changing environment brought on by Covid-19, this topic is more important and relevant than ever.

Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft will joined the Congress for a discussion with MIT Labor Economist David Autor. The conference featured panels and Q&A's with leading academics, business, education, labor and philanthropic leaders, as well as policy makers. Join us to explore the important question - how can we create a future of work that augments human potential while contributing to shared economic prosperity?
