The Peterson Institute for International Economics addresses the imminent transformation of work due to artificial intelligence (AI) in an event featuring leading experts who unpack the current state of research and overlooked critical dimensions.
New PIIE senior fellow Anton Korinek offers a forward-looking perspective, provocatively asking whether we're truly preparing for the speed and extent of the transformation of work. Fabien Curto Millet, Google's chief economist, bridges the latest technological perspective with economic principles. PIIE senior fellows Jed Kolko and Martin Chorzempa highlight important angles the policy discussion has generally missed, particularly the potential impact on labor supply (not just demand), and what the US-China AI race means for the future of work.
This discussion separates evidence from speculation and explore the real implications of rapid AI progress for jobs, productivity, inequality, and international diffusion of technology.
