Скачать или смотреть CEPR Webinar Series on the Economics of Artificial Intelligence - 25 February 2025

This Webinar Series explores the transformative implications of AI, with particular focus on the ongoing rapid AI advances and their far-reaching impacts on our economies and societies. We examine critical themes including productivity effects, labor market transitions, evolving competition dynamics, and methodological innovations in economic research.

Stuart Russell (UC Berkeley) presents "The Imperative of AI Safety: A Technical Perspective," exploring the fundamental challenges in ensuring that advanced AI systems not only create economic value but remain aligned with human values.

Chad Jones (Stanford GSB) presents a paper on "How much should we spend to reduce A.I.'s existential risk?" providing a rigorous economic framework for evaluating trade-offs between innovation speed, safety investment, and existential risk.

Their presentations are followed by an interdisciplinary discussion on how to value and integrate technical safety versus economic benefits in the development of ever more powerful AI systems.
