Hi Everyone!

We're hosting our @WhartonAIAI AI and the Future of Work Conference on 5/21-22. Last year was a great event with some of the top papers on AI and work.

Paper submission deadline is 3/3. Come join us @Wharton. Submit papers here: https://t.co/KWQosyDgXA

Happy International Women’s Day!
Excited to be speaking today at the 2024 Women in Data
Science Worldwide Stanford Conference!

I will be speaking about the role of data in understanding labor market dynamics and shaping the future of work.

Join via livestream below:

[Georgios Petropoulos @georgionomix]

Great insights by @erikbryn at his NABE TEC 2023 Conference keynote address on Gen AI and its implications for business and society: Technology is not enough. It is the development of AI complementary skills and processes that are needed to boost productivity and economic growth.

[David Holtz @daveholtz]

The deadline to submit abstracts to @CODEConference is next Friday!

We welcome research involving digital experimentation from all fields, and from both within and outside of academia. Come talk about the interesting things you’re working on!

[ISPOC @is_spoc]

📢 Exciting news, colleagues and friends! Mark your calendars for our next session of ISPOC 2023 series on September 7th! 📷Join us as Zanele Munyikwa from MIT presents 'Generative AI and Creative Work'. #ISPOC2023

[Sean J. Taylor @seanjtaylor]

The @nixtlainc team just dropped the first foundation model for time series! I’ve been testing and it’s a huge breakthrough, completely automatic forecasts with zero-shot and fine-tunable. Super exciting work that will change forecasting forever. https://t.co/9oaj4umZt4

🚨🚨New Paper Alert!!🚨🚨

Where in the US are all the robots?

They are in the #RobotHubs!

We document this interesting finding in a new paper with @erikbryn @CathyBuffington @ngoldschlag #FrankLi and @jmirandal

Fascinating new paper on the labor market effects of GPT-4 by @ThankYourNiceAI
@sj_manning @ManlikeMishap and @danielrock

"Our findings indicate that approximately 80% of the U.S. workforce could have at least 10% of their work tasks affected.."

[Emma Wiles @emmabwiles]

🚨🚨🚨 New working paper! In a field experiment on an online labor market, job applicants who had access to algorithmic writing assistance on their resumes were more likely to get hired. Thread on why this matters.

With @zanmuny @johnjhorton

[Ben Waber @bwaber]

Enjoyed the conversation with @DoubleLJSquared, and I'm glad my @HarvardBiz piece with @zanmuny made an appearance here, quite relevant to @meta's decision

[MIT Graduate Student Union @MITGradUnion]

We stand with the MIT faculty at the Institute for Work & Employment Research (IWER) in calling on MIT to remain neutral throughout the unionization process. It is our decision as grad students to make. Check out their letter in the Tech: https://t.co/Lm64ahiq7J #MITGSU (1/2)

🔌 IT SKILLS

"Online job postings indicate that demand from top tech firms for frontier IT skills (AI and machine learning) is about double their demand for other IT skills." Read more by @georgionomix and @sebbie88 ⤵️

[USF M.S. Int’l & Dev Economics @IDEC_usfca]

It is no longer news that the global landscape has gone digital. Economists and social scientists alike are beginning to use causal inferences and machine learning techniques to study the digital economy. Meet Zanele Munyikwa, PhD student at our #ESS this Thursday, Oct. 14, 2021.

[Zanele Munyikwa @zanmuny]

@jessie_fin Yeah, in economics, often RAs and predocs, or even early stage PhD students won’t get authorship if they collected the data and/or did the analysis but the original idea wasn’t theirs.

[Zanele Munyikwa @zanmuny]

@SadieCollective we need another option-- "Yes! It's fine!" a writer at the atlantic called it the best drama of the past few years and I'd say... not quite. But it's sandra oh and some parts are very sweet.

[Erik Brynjolfsson @erikbryn]

Our white paper about the Foundation Models (like GPT-3) is out today.

It was great working with @zanmuny @MinaLee__ and @percyliang on the section about the big economic implications.

[Stanford HAI @StanfordHAI]

On Aug 23-24, we’ll bring together leading scholars including Anthropic co-founder @jackclarkSF, UW/AI2’s @YejinChoinka, Google’s Slav Petrov, Ethical AI's @mmitchell_ai to discuss the promise and risks of foundation models like GPT-3.

[Stanford HAI @StanfordHAI]

AI is undergoing a sweeping paradigm shift with models (e.g., GPT-3) trained at immense scale, carrying both major opportunities and serious risks. Experts from multiple disciplines will discuss at our upcoming workshop on Aug. 23-24: https://t.co/4U9DMd3vhN
