Thanks Ludger and David for putting this great workshop together - it was great fun to present our (almost) latest work on AI! @TerryAGregory, @MargueritDavid@LISER_LM
[...] I hope that many of you share some of my fears and I hope to connect with you all on alternative platforms —Bluesky seems to take a different course, which I will now support! #EconTwitter
[...] I also don't see that this platform can be actively shaped in any serious way, given the current governance and leadership. Ultimately, any content strengthens the platform along with the spread of anti-democratic ideology. [...]

Thanks @chr_langer from @DigEconLab for a great presentation today in the Data Sciene Lunch Seminar @LISERinLUX. Amazing work with @SimonWiederhold on "The Value of Early-Career Skills"; among others using cutting-edge Gemini 1.5 Pro to label skills in apprenticeship plans.

🆕 LISER study on #digitaltransformation during the #COVID19 pandemic
📖 The publication entitled "Firm-Level Technology Adoption in Times of Crisis" co-authored by LISER researcher Terry Gregory, investigates how crises affect firms’ adoption of frontier technologies using the Covid-19 #pandemic as a #casestudy. The analysis tracks the nature, timing, and pandemic-related motivations of investments among German firms, using longitudinal survey data linked with administrative worker–firm records.
🔍 The authors find clear evidence for a shift toward #remotework technologies that helped firms mitigate negative employment effects. Overall, however, the pandemic slowed down the diffusion of new #technologies. This procyclical pattern of technology adoption is particularly striking since the pandemic created strong incentives to experiment with new technologies.

Congrats to @DAcemogluMIT, Johnson, and Robinson for winning the nobel prize for ecocomics 2024. I just read "power and progress" with great enthusiasm. One takeaway for the current debate: AI does not automatically lead to greater prosperity. It depends on the choices we make.
These were two productive days at the #ELMIconference2024 in Brussels with a mix of research and policy debates 👇
We even managed to touch upon productivity a bit, which is far from given in the EU discussions on technology and skills 😉

Interesting study by @ProfDavidDeming showing that 39 percent of the U.S. population use generative AI. Speaks for rapid and widespread adoption, faster than the adoption of the personal computer and the internet.
At least one in six workers in management, business, and computer-related occupations is using generative AI at work every day.
Also, 22% of blue collar workers use AI.
From our new paper, "The Rapid Adoption of Generative AI":
