Klaus Martin Schwab is a German engineer, economist, and founder of the World Economic Forum. He has acted as the WEF's chairman since founding the organization in 1971. Schwab was born to Eugen Wilhelm Schwab and Erika Epprecht in Ravensburg. His parents had moved from Switzerland to Germany during the Third Reich in order for his father to assume the role of director at Escher Wyss AG, an industrial company and contractor for then-Nazi Germany. Schwab's family was monitored by the Gestapo, which in 1944 also interrogated his mother (who was from Zürich) for speaking with a Swiss accent in public.&nbsp;
Schwab was raised Catholic. He is a citizen of Germany, although he has three Swiss grandparents and two Swiss brothers. Schwab has been married since 1971 to Hilde Schwab, a former assistant of his. The wedding took place in Sertig Valley at a Reformed church. The couple lives in Cologny in Switzerland. The Schwabs have two adult children, Nicole (born 1975/76) and Olivier. Nicole Schwab co-founded the Gender Equality Project. Schwab attended 1st and 2nd grade at the primary school in the Wädenswil district of Au ZH, in Switzerland.&nbsp;
After World War II, the family moved back to Germany, where Schwab attended the Spohn-Gymnasium in Ravensburg until his Abitur in 1957. In 1961, he graduated as a mechanical engineer from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, which awarded him a doctorate in engineering entitled: Der längerfristige Exportkredit als betriebswirtschaftliches Problem des Maschinenbau (Longer-term export credit as a business problem in mechanical engineering).&nbsp;
He was also awarded a doctorate in economics from the University of Fribourg and a Master of Public Administration degree from the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. Schwab was a professor of business policy at the University of Geneva from 1972 to 2003 and since then has been an Honorary Professor there. Since 1979, he has published the Global Competitiveness Report, an annual report assessing the potential for increasing productivity and economic growth of countries around the world, written by a team of economists.
Schwab has authored or co-authored several books. Some consider him to be "an evangelist" for "stakeholder capitalism." The Fourth Industrial Revolution, the subject of a 2016 book he wrote, is another of the ideas he has popularized. In January 2017, Steven Poole in The Guardian criticized Schwab's Fourth Industrial Revolution book, pointing out that "the internet of things" would probably be hackable. He also criticized Schwab for showing that future technologies may be used for good or evil but not taking a position on the issues, instead offering only vague policy recommendations.&nbsp;
The Financial Times "innovation editor" found "the clunking lifelessness of the prose" led him to "suspect this book really was written by humans—ones who inhabit a strange twilight world of stakeholders, externalities, inflection points, and “developtory sandboxes.” The political scientist Klaus-Gerd Giesen has argued that the dominant ideology of the Fourth Industrial Revolution is transhumanism.

Geoffrey West is a theoretical physicist whose primary interests have been in fundamental questions in physics, especially those concerning elementary particles, their interactions, and cosmological implications. West served as SFI President from July 2005 through July 2009. Before joining the Santa Fe Institute as a Distinguished Professor in 2003, he was the leader and founder of the high-energy physics group at Los Alamos National Laboratory. He is one of only approximately ten Senior Fellows.
His long-term fascination in general scaling phenomena evolved into a highly productive collaboration on the origin of universal scaling laws that pervade biology from the molecular genomic scale up through mitochondria and cells to whole organisms and ecosystems. This led to the development of realistic quantitative models for organisms' structural and functional design based on underlying universal principles.&nbsp;
This work, begun at the Institute, has received much attention in both the scientific and popular press and provides a framework for quantitative understanding of problems ranging from fundamental issues in biology (such as cell size, growth, metabolic rate, DNA nucleotide substitution rates, and the structure and dynamics of ecosystems) to questions at the forefront of medical research (such as aging, sleep, and cancer).
Among his current interests is the extension of these ideas to understand the structure and dynamics of social organizations, such as cities and corporations, including the relationships between economies of scale, growth, innovation, and wealth creation and their implications for long-term survivability and sustainability quantitatively.
He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and was one of their Centenary Speakers in 2003. He has been a lecturer in many popular and distinguished scientist series worldwide, as well as at the World Economic Forum. Among recent honors, he was a co-receiver of the Mercer Award from the Ecological Society of America, the Weldon Memorial Prize (2005), Oxford University and the Glenn Award for Research on Aging, and the APS Szilard Award (2013).
In 2006 he was named one of Time magazine's "100 Most Influential People in the World," and his work was selected as one of the breakthrough ideas of 2007 by the Harvard Business Review. He is the author of several books, a visiting Professor of Mathematics at Imperial College, London, and an associate fellow of the Said Business School at Oxford University.
West received his BA from Cambridge University in 1961 and his doctorate from Stanford University in 1966, where he returned in 1970 to become a member of the faculty. West is married to Jacqueline West, a psychologist in private practice; they have two children: Joshua is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Southern California and an Olympic silver medalist.

Ken Auletta launched the Annals of Communications columns and profiles for The New Yorker magazine in 1992. He is the author of twelve books, including five national bestsellers: Three Blind Mice: How the TV Networks Lost Their Way; Greed And Glory On Wall Street: The Fall of The House of Lehman; The Highwaymen: Warriors of the Information Super Highway; World War 3.0: Microsoft and Its Enemies; and Googled, The End of the World As We Know It, which was published in November of 2009.
His other books include Backstory: Inside the Business of News; Media Man: Ted Turner’s Improbable Empire; The Streets Were Paved with Gold; and The Underclass. His twelfth book, Frenemies: The Epic Disruption of the Ad Business (And Everything Else), was published in June 2018. His thirteenth book, Hollywood Ending: Harvey Weinstein and the Culture of Silence, was published in July 2022.
Auletta was among the first to popularize the so-called information superhighway with his February 1993 profile of Barry Diller's search for something new. He has profiled the leading figures and companies of the Information Age, including Google, Bill Gates, Rupert Murdoch, AOL Time Warner, John Malone, Harvey Weinstein, the New York Times, Sheryl Sandberg, and Facebook; he has dissected media meteors that fell to earth like "push" technology and inter-active TV, probed media violence, the PAC giving of communication giants, the fat lecture fees earned by journalist/pundits, and explored what "synergy" may mean to journalism.
His 2001 profile of Ted Turner won a National Magazine Award as the best profile of the year. He covered the Microsoft antitrust trial for the magazine. In ranking him as America's premier media critic, the Columbia Journalism Review concluded, "no other reporter has covered the new communications revolution as thoroughly as has Auletta." New York Magazine described him as the "media Boswell."
His eleventh book, Googled: The End of The World As We Know It, was published in November 2009 and quickly became a bestseller. In narrative fashion, it provides the fullest portrait yet of Google as a company, how it began, and has grown into a behemoth. It seeks to probe the "secret sauce" for Google's success. And it shows how traditional media was late to awaken to Google and the multiple ways the digital revolution would disrupt their world, crowning a new King: the consumer.
His twelfth book, Frenemies: The Epic Disruption of the Ad Business (And Everything Else), was published in 2018. It described how advertising and marketing, with worldwide spending of up to $2 trillion, and without its subsidies, most media, including Google and Facebook, would perish, was today a victim of disruption.
His thirteenth book, Hollywood Ending: Harvey Weinstein And The Culture of Silence, to be published in July 2022, is a biography of a Hollywood luminary who behaved like a monster while also birthing brilliant movies. Hollywood Ending seeks to uncover what made him a monster, how a culture of silence shielded his foul behavior and the nature of his talent. Readers will be exposed to a surprising array of voices—including those of Harvey Weinstein, his brother Bob, and childhood friends who describe the atmosphere in the brothers’ Flushing, Queens home—and documents that demonstrate how Harvey Weinstein’s inability to control his raging impulses crippled his business.
Auletta has won numerous journalism honors. He has been chosen a Literary Lion by the New York Public Library and one of the 20th Century's top 100 business journalists by a distinguished national panel of peers. Appearing before the Financial Writers Association of America in 1997, Wall Street Journal Managing Editor Paul Steiger turned to him and declared, "I really think that the kind of stuff you do for The New Yorker is terrific. I'd love to see more of that kind of stuff on the front page of the Wall Street Journal... I think you set a standard."
For four decades, Auletta has been a national judge of the Livingston Awards for journalists under thirty-five. He has been a Trustee and member of the Executive Committee of the Public Theatre/New York Shakespeare Festival. He was a member of the Columbia Journalism School Task Force assembled by incoming college President Lee Bollinger to help reshape the curriculum.
He has served as a Pulitzer Prize juror and a Trustee of the Nightingale-Bamford School. He was twice a Trustee of PEN, the international writers' organization. He is a member of the New York Public Library's Emergency Committee for the Research Libraries, the Author's Guild, PEN, the Council on Foreign Relations, and of the Committee to Protect Journalists.

In the invention, Rise of the Robots in Silicon Valley entrepreneur Martin Ford argues that this is absolutely not the case.  Technology will continue to accelerate and machines begin taking care of themselves, fewer people will be necessary and artificial intelligence is already well on its way to making “good jobs” obsolete: many paralegals, journalists, office workers, and even computer programmers are poised to be replaced by robots and smart software.  As progress continues, blue and white-collar jobs alike will evaporate, squeezing working- and middle-class families ever further.

Martin Ford explores the idea that automation and artificial intelligence are not just changing the way we work, but are also threatening jobs across all sectors. He suggests that we need to prepare for a future where machines could replace human labor.

The Impact of Automation

Ford paints a picture of a future where jobs are scarce due to the rise of robots. He argues that this could lead to increased income inequality and social unrest. It's a wake-up call for us to rethink our approach to employment and income distribution.

The Future of Employment

In Rise of the Robots, Ford suggests that education and retraining might not be the solution to job loss caused by automation. He believes that as technology advances, even highly educated workers could find themselves replaced by machines.

The Role of Education

Ford proposes a radical solution to the job loss caused by automation - a guaranteed basic income. He believes this could help to mitigate the social and economic impact of widespread unemployment.

The Need for a Basic Income

Despite the potential challenges, Ford also highlights the positive aspects of automation. He sees the rise of robots as an opportunity for innovation and progress, if we can find a way to manage the transition effectively.
