FAI is hiring! Come join the AI policy team to work with @hamandcheese, @deanwball, and me at @JoinFAI.
This is a terrific article by @deenamousa about why AI hasn't taken all of the radiology jobs.

At a higher level, I worry tradeoffs in the run-up to AGI could be btw allocating compute to AI R&D vs military+defense vs public goods (health research) vs consumer use. Think incentives mostly tilt toward the first two if compute scarce and more inference=more capabilities.

Nice thread of talk summaries from papers presented by economists & economic sociologists at a conference taking the prospect of transformative AI seriously. Lots of smart people doing interesting work to try and understand what this new era means for firms, science & all of us.

Happy and honored to have presented my paper with @sj_manning at the NBER Economics of Transformative AI Workshop @Stanford!
Day 2 of "The Economics of Transformative AI" @nberpubs A lot of thought-provoking papers trying to imagine how would (economically) a world where AI is able to do most/all jobs work: tax, life satisfaction, competition... I will keep twitting the papers through the day.

Scarce compute means higher compute prices. The more it costs to automate things, drive scientific progress, etc. the less "material abundance" we can create. If you want AI's benefits to be widely accessible, compute and energy abundance should be a priority!

this is incredible stuff. so cool to see @AnthropicAI release more valuable data on AI usage across the economy

BLS projects -6% employment for Computer Programmers by 2034. Software Developers expected to be +15%. Key distinction in the way they define roles: CPs "Work from specifications drawn up by software and web developers or other individuals." Sounds like a coding agent to me!
Today, over forty leading economists and experts are calling on the Department of Labor to gather more data on AI's jobs impact. Signers include former fed chairs, Nobel laureates, and experts on the right and left. Read the full letter: ari.us/wp-content/upl…

Cool time to share I've joined @JoinFAI as a non-resident fellow. And to say that I've never been to a rave nor am I libertarian. I do care about understanding AI's labor impacts and defining a progress-oriented policy vision for AIxlabor, which I'll be working on w/ the team.

Despite poor jobs numbers and recent research showing that AI may be negatively impacting employment of young workers in some sectors, I think the effect of AI on job creation has been overwhelmingly positive to date. When thinking about the state of the US economy, worth…
People are going to start blaming stuff like this on ai if it continues, regardless of whether it’s true (Just like people are blaming ai for rising electricity prices, which any savvy observer of the us grid knows have been baked in for years before ai data center demand)
We've updated a paper on the 3-year, $1000/month U.S. guaranteed income study. New results, in 3 figures: 🧵 1) Subjective well-being significantly improved in the treatment group in year 1, but there were no sig differences between the treatment & control group after that. 1/
Mantic is out of stealth today! I'm incredibly excited for the technical progress we are making on AI forecasting.

This seems like the most serious & most credible attempt to answer a question on many minds - what does AI do to entry-level labor market?

Here's some advice I often find myself giving people keen to do AI governance research: - Take trends seriously - Make up your own mind - Get a handle on the technical stuff - Ground yourself in concrete policy choices - Back yourself markusanderljung.com/blog/some-advi…
