We are thrilled to invite you to our Professional Development Workshop (PDW):
"AI and the Future of Opportunity, Judgment, and Uncertainty: Revisiting Knight, Hayek, and Kirzner" 🤖🚀📚
Why Join? 💡
The rapid diffusion of generative and agentic AI is reshaping foundational assumptions about opportunity, judgment, knowledge, and uncertainty - concepts that anchor classical and contemporary theories of entrepreneurship and strategic decision-making.
As AI systems increasingly participate in information discovery, prediction, creativity, and even stakeholder interaction, long-standing distinctions articulated by Frank Knight, F.A. Hayek, and Israel Kirzner require critical re-examination. 🧠🔍
