Will A.I. Boost Productivity? Companies Sure Hope So.
Economists doubt that artificial intelligence is already visible in productivity data. Big companies, however, talk often about adopting it to improve efficiency.
Should Workers Fear AI?
While hand-wringing about AI's implications for work and labor markets is understandable, economic history and current data make clear that the most common fears are largely overblown. Current applications are nowhere near levels that can threaten jobs or even have a noticeable effect on productivity statistics.
The AI deepfake apocalypse is here. These are the
ideas for fighting it.
A growing group of researchers and start-ups are
building tools to identify and track deepfake images before they take over the
internet completely.
How to Regulate Artificial Intelligence
The emergence of generative artificial intelligence in the last few years has drawn a growing chorus of advocates offering proposals for how to regulate this new technology. Many of them want to treat AI as an entirely new kind of challenge that calls for entirely new regulatory tools. But starting from scratch is unlikely to lead us to effective regulation. Instead, regulators should begin from our existing tools and take the time to see what new modes of regulation might be needed.
