I’m happy to share my short essay in the Wall Street Journal on how US capitalism will look like in 50 years, where I focus the different paths of AI: wsj.com/economy/americ… I also recommend the other essays by economists and economic historians on the same theme.
Co-director @DAcemogluMIT participated in yesterday's @UN dialogue session on AI, highlighted in the @nytimes. Daron stressed that the current path of AI, which emphasizes automation, could lead to greater inequality. nytimes.com/2025/09/25/bus…
Co-director @davidautor was named one of @Clarivate's 2025 Citation Laureates in Economics, "for seminal analysis of wage structure, earnings inequality, educational advance, and technological change." Congratulations, David! clarivate.com/citation-laure…

Last week, the Stone Center and @jcohen570 convened a workshop at MIT on @DAcemogluMIT's forthcoming book, bringing together top scholars across disciplines to discuss and debate how liberalism can deliver on its promises. Thanks to all who attended and shared their perspectives.

Co-director @davidautor was interviewed on @CBSNews about how AI is affecting job searches, particularly for entry-level workers. cbsnews.com/news/how-is-ar…
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. theatlantic.com/technology/arc…
AI can be used to automate tasks—and entire jobs. But it could also be designed to collaborate with humans. David Autor and James Manyika on why we should focus on the latter: theatlantic.com/technology/arc…
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. mitsloan.mit.edu/ideas-made-to-…

How will the deterioration of political institutions influence American prosperity? Initiative Co-Director @DAcemogluMIT discussed the importance of institutions in supporting economic growth and the need to rebuild trust in experts with WBUR's @tongscott wbur.org/hereandnow/202…
📖💬💥 Read Power and Progress: The Mini-Comic! Polly (a robot) and Daisy (a historian) debate whether AI will cause harm or do good. Developed with the @BUArts Visual Narrative MFA program, based on Power & Progress by @DAcemogluMIT & @baselinescene shapingwork.mit.edu/power-and-prog…
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: marketplace.org/episode/2025/0…
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. cnn.com/2025/07/27/wor…
The 'China shock' at the turn of this century wreaked havoc on US manufacturing. Is a second shock coming? I talked with @davidautor — one of the economists who identified the first 'China shock.'
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.
