Read a recap of this event
What is pro-worker artificial intelligence (AI), and how can we build it? On February 25, The Hamilton Project at the Brookings Institution hosted a virtual event to discuss pro-worker AI, why it matters, and if and how public policy could channel advances in AI to be more pro-worker.
The event featured a panel discussion with Daron Acemoglu (MIT Institute Professor, NBER, and Stone Center on Inequality and Shaping the Future of Work), David Autor (MIT Economics, NBER, and Stone Center on Inequality and Shaping the Future of Work), and Simon Johnson (MIT Sloan School, NBER, and Stone Center on Inequality and Shaping the Future of Work), moderated by Natasha Sarin (Yale University).
In conjunction with the event, The Hamilton Project has released an essay from Daron Acemoglu, David Autor, and Simon Johnson.
