Andy Rubin, Crispr, and Amazon Star at Wired Business Conference 2017

Running a business today means contending with technologies that sound like plot devices from a comic book. Gene editing, artificial intelligence, voice-powered digital assistants--these are the unlikely realities facing leaders today, and we're going to take them on at WIRED Business Conference 2017 with the help of a few folks largely responsible for unleashing these forces in the first place. Andy Rubin, smartphone inventor and creator of the Android mobile operating system, who is working to bring AI to everyone. David Limp, senior vice president of devices at Amazon, oversaw the development of the Amazon Echo and its artificially intelligent digital assistant, Alexa. Jennifer Doudna, the UC Berkeley biochemist who developed the groundbreaking gene-editing tool CRISPR in 2012, will come clean about her fears and hopes for the powers of genetic modification.
