The Xapiens Podcast (XPC) Episode 5:
Join Xapiens Co-Director Bobby Johnston in a discussion with Alex (Sandy) Pentland. Sandy is a professor at the MIT Media lab, is on the advisory board for the UN Secretary General, UN Foundation, Consumers Union, and OECD, co-led the World Economic Forum leading to GDPR, and has delivered keynote addresses for OECD, G20, World Bank, and JP Morgan. He has co-founded a long list of companies (for example https://cogitocorp.com/, https://www.ginger.com/, and https://www.endor.com/).
He is the author of several books, the two discussed in this podcast are Social Physics (https://www.amazon.com/Social-Physics...) and Building the New Economy (https://www.amazon.com/Building-New-E...) which was published in October 2021.
We did not have enough time to cover in the breadth nor depth necessary to really understand all of his ideas, so I highly encourage you to read his books (social physics is also available as an audiobook), or watch some of his great video content available online, for example: https://www.media.mit.edu/articles/re...
