🥇 Congrats to Michael Blank, @gregorschub & @rainozhang for ranking #1 Gold in https://t.co/UNCJcVTXKl Preprints (April 2026) on https://t.co/P25tb78o1h!
New paper: “The Household Impact of Generative AI.” While most existing research focuses on AI’s impact “at work”, our joint work with Michael Blank and @gregorschub suggests the effects may be even larger “at home”, based on billions of internet browsing visits.
🚨 New Working Paper! 🚨
Time to talk about "The Household Impact of GenAI", covered by the @WSJ !
In this paper, we ask what GenAI is doing to productivity outside of work - and find evidence of large impacts.
