As AI makes prediction...

New Things Under the SunWhat if we could automate invention?These are weird times. On the one hand, scientific and technological progress seem to be getting harder. Add to that slowing population growth, and it’s possible economic growth over the next century or two might slow to a halt. On the other hand, one area where we seem to be observing rapid technological progress is in artificial intelligence. If that goes far enough, it’s easy to imagine machines being able to do all the things human inventors and scientists do, possibly better than us. That would seem to pull in the opposite direction, leading to accelerating and poss...

People have fewer friends, join fewer organisations, and are less likely to be members of political parties, churches and unions. At the same time, inequality is on the rise. By focusing on rigorous impact, effective altruism can boost the quality and quantity of philanthropy, helping to replace individualism and isolation with collectivism and cooperation.Andrew Leigh is the Shadow Assistant Minister for Treasury and Charities, and Federal Member for Fenner in the ACT.

2020-07-073h 58The MIT Press PodcastJoshua Gans, "Economics in the Age of COVID-19" (MIT Press, 2020)The COVID-19 pandemic has unleashed a firehose of information (much of it wrong) and an avalanche of opinions (many of them ill-founded). Most of us are so distracted by the everyday awfulness that we don't see the broader issues in play. In this "hastily written" guide to the pandemic economy penned during self-isolation after a flight from Australia, economist Joshua Gans steps back from the short-term chaos to take a clear and systematic look at how economic choices are being made in response to COVID-19. Economics in the Age of COVID-19 (MIT Press , 2020) shows that containing the virus and...

In the book, Joshua Gans steps back from the short-term chaos to take a clear and systematic look at how economic choices are being made in response to COVID-19. He shows that containing the virus and pausing the economy—without letting businesses fail and people lose their jobs—are the necessary first steps and furthermore outlines the phases of the pandemic economy, from containment to reset to recovery and enhancement. Gans lays out the economic choices accessibly but with urgency, leav...

Is economic inequality the price we pay for innovation? The amazing technological advances of the last two decades-in such areas as artificial intelligence, genetics, and materials-have benefited society collectively and rewarded innovators handsomely: we get cool smartphones and technology moguls become billionaires. This contributes to a growing wealth gap; in the United States; the wealth controlled by the top 0.1 percent of households equals that of the bottom ninety percent. Is this...

C’est l’une des questions que l’on entend le plus, autour de l’IA. Elle est légitime : à chaque révolution technique, certaines tâches deviennent obsolètes ou sont automatisées. Lorsqu’il s’agit de remplacer un cheval par une machine à vapeur, le cheval ainsi que l’ensemble des humains travaillant à le mettre à la tâche s’en voient impactés. Mais lorsqu’il s’agit d’automatiser l’intelligence même, serait-ce toute l’humanité qui serait impactée ? Et si je souhaite préparer mon avenir, anticiper ce grand remplacement...

When AI is framed as cheap prediction, its extraordinary potential becomes clear:
Prediction is at the heart of making decisions under uncertainty. Our businesses and personal lives are riddled with such decisions.
Uncertainty constrains strategy. Better prediction creates opportunities for new business structures and strategies to compete.

TrumponomicsHow Artificial Intelligence is Taking Over the EconomyFrom self-driving cars to robot-powered factories, artificial intelligence is taking over significant pieces of the global economy. But while this is good news for the businesses incorporating robots into their workplaces, it also means more and more people will lose their jobs to computers. Joshua Gans, co-author of the recent book "Prediction Machines: The Simple Economics of Artificial Intelligence," explains to hosts Scott Lanman and Christopher Condon what this shift means for the economy, and how it will also impact issues like inequality, monopolies and geopolitical competition.
