EVENT DETAILS |
Join Marc Michel, Mark Peter Davis & the NYC Venture Community for a conversation about automation,tech policy, & Universal Basic Income with Andrew Yang, Democratic candidate for president.
Andrew Yang is an entrepreneur & author running for President as a Democrat in 2020. In 2011 he founded Venture for America, a national entrepreneurship fellowship, & spent the last 6 years helping to create more than 2,500 jobs in cities like Cleveland, Detroit, & Pittsburgh. His work at VFA had him recognized for many awards including multiple from the Obama White House such as being named a 2012 Champion of Change & 2015 Presidential Ambassador for Global Entrepreneurship.When Andrew realized that new technologies like artificial intelligence & automation threatened to eliminate one-third of all American jobs, he knew the nation needed a leader with a vision for our radically different future. In The War on Normal People (April 2018), he explains the mounting crisis & makes the case for a Universal Basic Income: $1,000 a month for every American adult, no strings attached, one of the central pillars of his policy platform.
At this event, Andrew will give a short presentation about his vision for America, followed by plenty of time for Q&A.
