Work in the age of artificial intelligence

The Brookings Center on Regulation and Markets will host an event on the transformative impact of AI on labor markets. Panelists Daron Acemoglu (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), Daniel Susskind (Oxford University and King’s College London), and Russell Wald (Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence) will begin with a conversation moderated by Anton Korinek (University of Virginia) on the most recent advances in AI and their potential implications for the workforce. We will then explore strategies for steering the labor market effects of AI in a desirable direction in the near term, focusing on policies and practices that can help workers adapt to changing job requirements and ensure that the benefits of AI are distributed broadly. Finally, we will analyze the medium- to long-term threat of AI reaching human-level capabilities, and we will examine how to maintain shared prosperity in a world in which labor markets may experience more fundamental disruption.
