Global market intelligence firm, IDC, estimates that artificial intelligence (AI) will contribute nearly $20 trillion to the global economy by 2030 and represent nearly 4% of global GDP. Today we are joined by an AI pioneer, tech diplomat and leader of Purdue University, President Mung Chiang. We discuss:  

• His journey as a three-time entrepreneur turned university president and how his experience has shaped his approach at Purdue 
• Being on the cusps of the AI revolution, bringing new jobs to market and its elimination of old ones – and its potential to transform the physical world 
• Balancing AI’s opportunity for productivity versus its potential to become an adversarial threat  
• Connecting dots from the past to the future to develop job creation and prosperity in the state – and the critical role of agbioscience to make that happen 
• Purdue has a top 5 college of engineering and a top 5 college of agriculture – and President Chiang talks about the university’s differentiation to drive big outcomes using demand-driven education  
•  President Chiang’s eye on the future of Purdue and its continued service to Indiana
