A new paper from David Autor (David Autor), in collaboration with Neil Thompson (Neil Thompson), makes an important contribution to explaining how AI is likely to impact labor markets. Based on a rigorous model, confirmed with an analysis of 40 years of data, they provide a nuanced

This is one of the most important papers on the labor market impacts of AI in recent memory. Awesome, clarifying work by Neil Thompson and David Autor

Expertise David Autor + Neil Thompson new working paper is big. It combines modeling and data (leveraging AI) to propose a rethink of the task-based model widely used to analyse the economic impacts of automation and AI. It takes expertise...

Automation changes the value of labor by raising wages and reducing employment when it eliminates low-skill tasks, or lowering wages and increasing employment when it eliminates high-skill tasks, from David Autor and Neil Thompson nber.org/papers/w33941

Co-director David Autor explains findings from his new research with Neil Thompson. Automation (including AI) can make a job more or less "expert," raising or lowering wages, depending on the nature of the tasks it removes and/or creates. Watch the full clip: youtu.be/1lOOKvufS4w
