My interview with Todd Veinotte on City News 957 Halifax (starting at 13:20) discussing AI and jobs, how we will all become turbocharged, the role of government, how this transformation will be different, the use of ChatGPT in higher ed, and a lot more. halifax.citynews.ca/2024/04/24/the…
Great to join @spaikin on the Agenda to discuss entrepreneurship. We are at a special moment where AI is going to transform everything, and entrepreneurs are the ones that are going to make it happen. Creating a thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem is now more important than ever.

The 2024 AI Index Report is out. Always an insightful read! aiindex.stanford.edu/wp-content/upl…
Great to chat with @ShayeGanam on 630 CHED and QR 770 about Canada’s $2.4B investment in AI, where the opportunities lie in the AI tech stack, Canada’s lack of absorptive capacity, and how to drive mass adoption. dcs.megaphone.fm/CORU6438083257… #ArtificialIntelligence #cdnpoli
Canada’s $2.4-billion AI bet is a missed opportunity. If we are to enjoy the AI dividend, we must embark on an ambitious national campaign to build literacy and a culture of change. Every Canadian must be empowered. My article in the Globe and Mail: theglobeandmail.com/business/comme…
Canada faces an existential threat. Unless we address our growth gap, we will lose the very things we identify with most as Canadians: our public health care and education. AI is an historic opportunity to change this trajectory. My Star article: thestar.com/business/opini… #cdnecon
"A year on, measuring the success of ChatGPT by its use cases and direct impacts will lead us to underestimate its importance in the arc of history." My article in The Toronto Star. thestar.com/business/a-yea…
Excellent discussion on Canada's productivity and AI's opportunity at @BHERCanada's Member's Meeting. @StackhouseJohn and team did a great job of capturing the discussion in their podcast. Thanks to @Val1Walker and @MKMcKean for a great event. thoughtleadership.rbc.com/bridging-the-g…
Thank you MP @morricemike for inviting me to speak before the Parliamentary Caucus on Emerging Technologies. This Caucus is the sort of non-partisan initiative that Canada needs to seize the opportunities of AI while addressing its adverse impacts. pcet.ca
My article in Macleans Magazine on how AI will impact jobs (and inequality): "If most of your job is composed of tasks that ChatGPT can perform, as it is for roughly 20 per cent of Canadian workers" then your job will either change entirely or disappear. macleans.ca/technology-3/a…
Special Macleans issue on artificial intelligence with contributions from 15 of Canada's top thinkers in the area. Glad to be invited to be part of this group. macleans.ca/society/techno…

Google's new AI Search Function is going to be revolutionary. A huge leap in convenience for users but also more control of what content we see (and how we see it) in the hands of one firm. Great article by @crudelykevin in the Toronto Star: thestar.com/business/techn…
Toronto! An undebate is a new format that faces disagreement head-on but without win/lose polarization. 1st one - on AI - June 28, CBC Glenn Gould Studio, w. amazing undebaters @JoelBlit and @vviet93. It’ll be on the @notsmartblog podcast later. Tix/info: mishaglouberman.com/undebate
Looking forward to an "undebate" with @vviet93 hosted by @mishaglouberman at CBC's Glenn Gould Studio where we will be exploring whether AI is hype or will be transformational. mishaglouberman.com/undebate
"New, disruptive companies are bound to spring up that reinvent the way we do things using AI. As we’re still in the early stages of the technology, we now have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to create something revolutionary." thestar.com/business/2023/…
"AI has the potential to shift the global power balance. Halting AI research in the West would amount to handing the keys of the planet to countries that do not share our liberal and democratic values." My op-ed in the Star: #cdnpoli #ChatGPT thestar.com/business/opini…
Pausing AI research would be a huge mistake. It would bring little benefit while slowing a technology that Canada badly needs to boost productivity. My discussion with @farwell_WR starting at 43:34. #ChatGPT #cdnecon #cdnpoli kitchener.citynews.ca/audio/the-mike…
Are we Canadians satisfied with our children being poorer than children in peer countries? We are saddling our children with debt, while also failing to make the sorts of investments that will grow our economy. #cdnecon

I've been thinking a lot about how GPT-4 and its ilk will impact the enterprise and reshape the future of work. Back in mid-February, @JoelBlit and I opined on "ChatGPT: What executives really need to know" youtube.com/watch?v=Dfb-DL…
Our modern day Malthus. @JohnIbbitson tells us pop decline is unambiguously "bad" but never tells us why. Claims "we may soon start to run out" of immigrants. Really? We need a large-scale public re-education on what "economic growth" does and doesn't mean.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl…
Gosh, one consequence of reading party platforms more carefully is it becomes exceedingly difficult to vote for anyone. #Elxn44
@JoelBlit @mikalskuterud @DougSaunders @JohnIbbitson @CI2100 Which brings us to my hobby horse that ghg agreements should be based on policy stringency and not quantity targets. It seems to me this has to be central to the “big Canada” vision. Such a country can lead in stringency and innovation- but probably not total emissions cuts.
@JoelBlit @benkerteisen @mikalskuterud Seems like a lot of evidence focuses on aging, not population. At a micro level, aging looks to spur greater robot adoption (nber.org/digest/jul18/a…)
@JoelBlit @mikalskuterud @DougSaunders @JohnIbbitson @CI2100 Children have a positive elasticity for household income and a negative elasticity for women's wages. A prosperous society that uses its wealth to provide great support for working mothers will not lack for children. And let the size of the economy fall where it may.
Lots of downsides to the pandemic, but being stuck at my desk for a year certainly boosted my production. Found out this morning I won an Outstanding Performance Award from @UWaterloo for 2020. Feeling energized now.
This is the kind of vision that Canada needs to embrace. Rather than being buyers of vaccines produced elsewhere, Canada can be part of an international compact to develop & manufacture drugs for the world using new models of #innovation, such as #OpenScience partnerships.

Great news!
Today, as a female Hispanic economist, I join 3.6% of full professors who are also Hispanic. Of course, this is based only on US numbers from CSWEP and may be understated if non-US citizens aren't counted.
There is one, in 🇨🇦!
@JoelBlit That'd be awesome! I'll definitely follow up next time I'm in the area. :) Enjoy playing!
As a parent, it’s been difficult to share this optimism given our success remains tied to school closures. It’s a good thing vaccines work because our only other effective public health measure involves sacrificing child welfare.
Ontario today...sun is shining, #COVID19 cases declining, ICUs decompressing, vaccines quickly rolling out...good days ahead. . . .
Wait, we're ALLOWED to have an interesting, workable, and sensible compromise on this issue? x.com/cbccanada/stat…

Great news @Afinetheorem is now tenured at the University of Toronto.
Imagine if Premier Murderclown hadn't ignored warnings in Feb & extended the stay-at-home orders into early March, got new cases down to about 300 per day and seen vaxxing well underway. We'd probably still be open now. But Marshmallow Test failers gonna fail Marshamallow Tests.
NEW: Premier Doug Ford’s Progressive Conservatives are setting the table to extend Ontario’s pandemic “stay-at-home” order for another two weeks, until June 2. thestar.com/politics/provi…
@JoelBlit And it's a widely noted policy problem (especially in your own field), and it's worth pointing out to people not considering it.
@ShellyCalg @JoelBlit I hear what you’re saying. I’m just so thankful we were able to have it along with so many others.
