United Nations 2045 Initiative – Building a Trustworthy Economy

Dr. Ramu Damodaran, Chief of United Nations Academic Impact, chaired and moderated a fascinating UN 2045 Roundtable on July 24, 2020.

Alex Pentland, Professor of MIT Connection Science, Co-founder of AIWS.net, presented a new model, term: The Trustworthy Economy. He said:”Today’s financial systems are not trusted by citizens because they are inherently unstable and winner-take-all, so for most people the system offers only failure.  Today, new digital technologies allow the fine-grain feedback needed to build systems that are dramatically more stable, which reward everyone’s contribution to society, and provide everyone with a realistic opportunity to build a good life.”
