Event Details

Tim Hwang is a writer and AI policy researcher at Georgetown's Center for Security and Emerging Technology.

His book Subprime Attention Crisis poses the bold — and terrifying — possibility that the ad economy, the bedrock of the modern Internet, might be a bubble ready to burst. To build this argument Hwang explores the declining effectiveness and opacity in the digital ad market, then poses recommendations for taking the whole thing down.

Event moderated by Jasmine Sun (Stanford Sociology) and Ben Wolfson (National Cancer Institute).

This event series is hosted and managed by Reboot, which is an event series and newsletter that convenes book-lovers, writers, and technologists to imagine the future of tech, humanity, and power.
