Technology is changing how we work, how businesses operate and how decisions get made — from artificial intelligence to cybersecurity and automation. 

And it’s happening quickly. 

Some leaders in the state’s tech sector say Minnesota has the opportunity to lead — by bringing companies together, developing talent and thinking carefully about how technologies like AI are built and used. 

MPR News guest host Chris Farrell talks with some of those leaders about the opportunities, the concerns and how Minnesota is preparing people for a changing workforce.
