Excited to share research that we've been working on, exploring the effects of AI usage on patent applications!
The working draft is available at lnkd.in/gS88ZaBw
🚨Paper alert!🚨
How has AI affected patent applications?
It looks like micro entities (these are very small firms and individual inventors) are much more likely to use AI, per a paper with @Nikhil_Dilip and Youngkyung Kim.

Does employees' political participation reflect their own views or their employer's influence — and is this tension particularly acute in a nascent industry like AI? A pleasure to speak with Brandon Pho and Kelly Waldron at Mission Local about this.

pleased to announce an update of relianceonscience.org, which has been mothballed for a couple of years when the previous grant ran out. thanks to support from the Alfred P. @SloanFoundation we have updated the patent-to-paper citations through 2025.
one change in this release is that the citations are limited to patents granted by the USPTO. this will be our scope going forward.
this release also fixes a bug whereby the # of in-text citations for 2021 and 2022 were artificially low.
lastly, the system has been ported from the old pile of Perl scripts to Python, so you can more easily download the code and replicate what we did. you will need a server with about 400G of memory to run it.
happy researching!

On June 30, 2016, @emollick bet @robseamans that in ten years robots would take half of the jobs in the warehouse & storage industry.
How'd the bet turn out?
@emollick bets @robseamans that robots will take more than 428K warehouse jobs in the US by June 2026. xitter.cf/emollick/status/748565…

Since it is Friday afternoon, here on my office wall are my notes on how to get useful things done. To be clear, I am really bad at a lot of these, but I think a good set of rules!

How do autoworkers choose their battles during the EV transition? My new paper @IR_Berkeley looks at the divergent paths of U.S. and Canadian unions. The key takeaway: Beyond power resources, we must look at internal politics to explain strategic choices. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Postdoc openings at Kellogg/Northwestern!
We’re a purposefully multidisciplinary group working at the intersection of science-of-science, innovation, AI, networks, and complexity. We’re looking for postdocs who want to ask bold new questions, with rigorous data, theory, and computation.
Candidates from all disciplines are welcome. This year we’re especially excited about candidates interested in one or more of the following areas:
- LLMs & AI agents
- Political science (science, policy & governance)
- Technological progress + societal impacts of science
- Nonequilibrium statistical physics
Review begins Feb 15 (rolling until filled).
Apply / details:kellogg.northwestern.edu/aca…
Please share with great candidates! Thank you!
Join us!!!

I will discuss this remarkable paper:
China pulled off something economists long thought impossible. It went from pharma free rider to innovation leader.
A single policy change (NRDL) massively expanded market size, cut prices, and increased frontier drug R&D.

"...not to try to squeeze more information out of the data by statistical means [but] find techniques for observing the phenomena at a higher level of resolution. The corresponding strategy for economics is obvious: to secure new kinds of data at the micro level." (Herbert Simon)

The first principle of psychological safety:
The harder you make it to voice problems, the harder it becomes to solve them.
The issues people are most afraid to raise are the most likely to become thorns in your side. It’s impossible to fix what you don't know is broken.
