Transatlantic Perspectives on Digital Automation Technologies

ChatGPT is the latest example of technology that appears to be
able to execute tasks that would have required the services of
high level academics not too long ago. Similar AI initiatives are
taking place across the world, which begs the question: is
automation coming for knowledge work next?


In this episode of the Sound of Economics, Giuseppe Porcaro
invites Maria Savona, Professor of Applied Economics at the
Department of Economics at LUISS University, Rome and Professor
of Economics of innovation at SPRU, Science Policy Research Unit
at the University of Sussex, UK, and David Autor, Ford Professor
in the MIT Department of Economics, to discuss different
perspectives and lessons from the US and Europe on the design of
digital automation technologies and their implications for the
future of work.
