About this episode
Harvard economist and researcher David Deming studies technology and the future of work. Lately, he’s been doing a lot of research about AI: he’s dug into technological shifts of the past for clues about what might happen to the U.S. labor market now, and he’s even quantified the rapid rate of adoption of generative AI.
Deming doubts AI will cause a jobs apocalypse, but he does believe things will change. Today, he tells us his ideas for how we can AI-proof our jobs, both personally and through education and policy reform.
David Deming also writes a newsletter called Forked Lightning.
