NY Times launches series on technology impact on business

The New York Times announced Thursday the launch of “Fast Forward,” a reporting series that will examine emerging technologies that are shaping the future of business.

The monthly series will explore what the future might hold for transportation, manufacturing, currency and more.

The inaugural articles focus on artificial intelligence, with forthcoming pieces highlighting innovation across a range of topics, including urban vs. rural, manufacturing, mobility, and health care.

As part of the series, “Fast Forward” will also feature an eight-page special print-only section in December 2018, as well as two upcoming TimesTalks events that will focus on the themes of business and technology.
