In @TheAtlantic, co-director @davidautor and James Manyika explain why we should insist on developing AI as a collaboration tool, not just for automation — and what this would look like in practice.

RT @TheAtlantic: AI can be used to automate tasks—and entire jobs. But it could also be designed to collaborate with humans. David Autor an….

Will automation wipe out jobs—or make them more valuable? A recent MIT Sloan article features @davidautor's recent research, which finds that the effect of automation on wages and employment depends on the nature of the tasks being replaced.

Co-director @baselinescene recently joined @meghamama on the Marketplace Tech podcast to discuss AI's impact on inequality. He argues that new technologies could bring productivity gains, but they might not benefit everyone. Listen here:

Co-director @davidautor spoke with @FareedZakaria on @CNN this week about China's rapid advancements in high-tech industries, which he warns could lead to a "China Shock 2.0" for the US.

RT @FareedZakaria: The 'China shock' at the turn of this century wreaked havoc on US manufacturing. Is a second shock coming? I talked with….

How will AI impact inequality, in the US and globally? Co-director @baselinescene discusses what the preliminary data suggests. Global economies whose competitive advantage currently comes from labor-intensive work could have the most to lose.

To predict how AI will impact jobs, co-director @davidautor explains, we need to understand how it changes the expertise required for an occupation. "It's very possible that AI will change who can do certain types of work."

"China has moved way up the value chain." Co-director @davidautor appeared on @CNBC to discuss the threat of a China Shock 2.0 and how the US should respond.

In a lecture last month at @Wheeler_LBS, director @DAcemogluMIT previewed ideas from his forthcoming book on remaking liberalism in an age of inequality, AI, and political polarization. Watch the recording: Read an event summary:

Co-director @davidautor explains findings from his new research with @ProfNeilT. 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:

In @nytimes, co-director @davidautor and @gordon_h_hanson argue that the Trump administration's economic policies are fighting the last war. In the meantime, China is making rapid advancements and threatening US leadership in innovative, high-tech sectors.

Will AI take over the smartest part of your job, or just the boring bits? A recent FT article highlights @davidautor's recent research on how automation can raise or lower expertise across jobs.

Why are some countries rich and others poor? How do institutions drive prosperity — or inequality? @baselinescene unpacks these questions and more on this week's @planetmoney episode.

"One of the great challenges of our era is to figure out how to create tools, AIs, that support people using their expertise better and learning faster.". Hear more from @davidautor on the Possible podcast with @reidhoffman and @AriaIrene:
