Co-author of the definitive AI book Prediction Machines and founder of the Creative Destruction Lab. Agrawal illuminates the incoming realities of AI: how machine prediction presents us with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to optimize the way we do business, run governments, and provide healthcare—leaving us the space to be human where it really counts, in judgment and decision-making. Named the engineer of a “Billion Dollar Breakout” by The Globe and Mail—Agrawal comes at AI’s potential as an economist and business visionary.

He holds a Ph.D. in Strategy and Economics and an M.Eng./MBA from the University of British Columbia. He’s served as a Visiting Scholar at MIT, London Business School, and Harvard University, as well as a Visiting Professor at Stanford.
