Recent advances in Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) have the potential to disrupt the labor market and reshape the US economy. This seminar will explore important questions, including: What changes are likely to be seen over the shorter and longer term as a result of AI? What steps should policymakers take to create a workforce prepared for the transformation that is likely to occur? How are employees using AI in the workplace today? The seminar will be led by David Deming, Isabelle and Scott Black Professor of Political Economy, HKS and moderated by Lawrence H. Summers, Frank and Denie Weil Director of the Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government and Charles W. Eliot University Professor at Harvard. Deming, Summers, and Christopher Ong recently co-authored a paper commissioned by the Aspen Economic Strategy Group titled “Technological Disruption in the US Labor Market.” This seminar is being co-sponsored by The Project on Workforce.

This event will take place in Nye ABC (5th floor Taubman Building) for those with a Harvard ID who wish to attend in person. Others may join us remotely via Zoom. Refreshments will be served.
