What happens when you roll out custom generative AI to half a country's judges?

New paper on Pakistan's courts with @ProfSultanEcon and @gochristoph.

In line with https://t.co/7yUFGTsTut -- we provide early empirical evidence on the impacts of transformative generative AI.

We couldn’t find a usable set of boundaries for 10,000+ global cities, so we (@devdatalab) developed our own and made them open for research.

We were kind of shocked this didn’t exist already. A thread 1/

To make informed decisions, governments and international organisations need data. The #UnitedNations has been analysing the global availability of such data together with ETH Zurich. This has brought to light some surprising insights. https://t.co/HvrHbcUjzC

In 2021, a woman pointed to Tucker Carlson’s vaccine misinformation as a reason her dad died of covid.

New research shows Fox viewers were less likely to get vaccinated — especially in a period when Carlson led on talking about the vaccine. https://t.co/gLveF6FzZZ
