Andrew McAfee Biography
Andrew McAfee is the Co-Founder and Co-Director of the MIT Initiative on the Digital Economy and a Principal Research Scientist at the MIT Sloan School of Management. He researches the impact of digital technologies on business, the economy, and society. His upcoming book, "The Geek Way: The Radical Mindset Transforming the Future of Business," dives into the distinct practices of Geek companies and their role in disrupting industries. These companies are characterized by their agile, evidence-driven, and egalitarian cultures, which contrast sharply with their Industrial Era counterparts.
His earlier works include "More From Less: The Surprising Story of How We Learned to Prosper Using Fewer Resources - and What Happens Next," and "The Second Machine Age: Work, Progress, and Prosperity in a Time of Brilliant Technologies," co-authored with Erik Brynjolfsson, which was a top ten bestseller in both The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. Another collaboration with Brynjolfsson, "Machine | Platform | Crowd: Harnessing our Digital Future," provides insights into thriving in a technology-driven era. These books have been translated into over 15 languages, underscoring McAfee and Brynjolfsson's influence in both management thought and the transformation of American politics, as recognized by their inclusion in the Thinkers50 and Politico 50 lists.
McAfee has contributed to various prestigious publications, including Foreign Affairs, Harvard Business Review, The Economist, The Wall Street Journal, and The New York Times. He has shared his expertise on platforms such as CNN and 60 Minutes, at international forums including the World Economic Forum, TED, and the Aspen Ideas Festival, engaging with notable figures such as Tom Friedman and Fareed Zakaria. His dialogues extend to a diverse array of global and domestic audiences.
Educated at MIT and Harvard, McAfee resides in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He enjoys following the Red Sox, riding his motorcycle, and indulging in the NYT Saturday crossword to kick off his weekends.

Andrew McAfee Speaking Topics
ChatGPT and other types of Generative AI (GenAI), a new and powerful type of artificial intelligence, has taken us by surprise – we weren’t expecting its capabilities to appear so soon. According to Andrew McAfee, principal research scientist at the MIT Sloan School of Management who was named among the top 50 management thinkers in the world, GenAI is already transforming jobs and industries and delivering unprecedented creativity and productivity boosts. However, these systems still have serious flaws that need to be addressed in order for them to realize their full impact. In this fundamentally optimistic talk, McAfee stresses that GenAI will improve the business world and our lives, and that many of their harms are overstated.
Over the past two decades, big tech companies have innovated and experimented with the standard Industrial Era business model, creating organizations that are now dominating the global economy. How do they do it, and will the bubble burst? In this talk, MIT digital economist and data scientist Andrew McAfee, co-founder of MIT’s Initiative on the Digital Economy, takes audiences on a deep dive into his upcoming book, “The Geek Way.” He pulls back the curtain on what makes these “geek companies” consistently strong performers, how they excel at disrupting industries, and what traditional companies can learn from their freewheeling, fast-moving, evidence-driven, egalitarian, argumentative and autonomous cultures.
