How many jobs will artificial intelligence eliminate? It’s a question that many people have been asking. But @Google's chief economist suggests that a more relevant question is how the technology will change the jobs that already exist. @MITshapingwork mitsloan.mit.edu/ideas-made-…
How will AI affect workers in lower-income countries? Co-director @baselinescene explains why he is concerned about widespread factory automation.
At our recent fireside chat, co-director @DAcemogluMIT and Michael Sandel discussed how the interests of working people and liberalism came apart, why redistribution isn’t enough to repair the damage, and who has a say in the direction of AI.

(4/) "The most fundamental challenge of our economies today," he argued, is "the transition question. And it's one we can handle more or less elegantly and more or less intelligently, but it's coming at us at great speed."
(3/) While remaining optimistic that AI could be a net job creator, Fabien stressed the urgency of preparing for a significant transition period in the labor market.
(2/) Where will new jobs from AI come from? Fabien explained, "perhaps the better question is where all the new products are going to come from ... I am very curious about all of the latent markets with attendant employment that are going to emerge in the AI age."
(1/) Last week, we welcomed Fabien Curto Millet, Google's Chief Economist, to MIT to share his insights on the workforce and economic impacts of AI. He emphasized that the full effect of AI on jobs will include jobs lost, jobs gained, and jobs changed. 🧵
