This is one of the most important papers on the labor market impacts of AI in recent memory. Awesome, clarifying work by @ProfNeilT and @davidautor
A new paper from David Autor (@davidautor), in collaboration with Neil Thompson (@ProfNeilT), 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

Expertise @davidautor + @ProfNeilT 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...

This is exactly what is so exciting about AI!
Very big impact: The final version of a randomized, controlled World Bank study finds using a GPT-4 tutor with teacher guidance in a six week after school progam in Nigeria had "more than twice the effect of some of the most effective interventions in education" at very low costs
