  Welcome to the LSE Events podcast by the London School of Economics and Political Science.

• 00:07

  Get ready to hear from some of the most influential international figures in the social sciences.

• 00:16

  So welcome and good evening, everyone.

• 00:19

  For those who don't know, my name is Larry Kramer.

• 00:20

  I'm the president and vice chancellor here at LSE.

• 00:22

  And it's my privilege to welcome you all to this very special event hosted by LSE's Data Science Institute.

• 00:30

  Tonight's event is really the end of a year of programming by DSI that's been showcasing LSE research,

• 00:37

  exploring how the rapidly changing technological environment in all the different new technologies and advances are affecting our politics,

• 00:46

  our economies, and our societies more broadly.

• 00:49

  That research has been shared across the year through a series.

• 00:53

  We've had short films, blogs.

• 00:56

  It was a special edition of our research for the World Magazine events across the year.

• 01:02

  And it was also featured in the 2025 LSE Festival.

• 01:06

  So tonight's panel.

• 01:08

  in the sense, I guess, is drawing the year to a close.

• 01:12

  It'll give three scholars a chance to discuss how their work at the intersection of artificial intelligence and the social sciences can help to ensure that AI that advances in AI serve the good of the community and the greater good rather than the less good or the bad.

• 01:29

  What we're gonna do is we'll explore how insights drawn from the social sciences can shape AI innovation,

• 01:36

  talk a little bit about the importance of research into the most consequential impacts of AI,

• 01:42

  in particular its impacts on our economies and societies,

• 01:45

  and how AI tools and methodologies can transform social science research and investigation itself in a kind of feedback loop.
