Opportunities for Researchers Studying Labor Market Impacts of AI

The labor market implications of recent developments in AI, particularly generative AI systems or foundation models, are important but under-studied. To promote research on these issues, the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) will integrate researchers, particularly early-career scholars, studying these issues into its ongoing activities focused on Digitization and AI. In particular:

GitHub is proud to support research on this important set of issues as generative AI systems transform the way that software is made. We hope that further study will inform community and policy discussions on how to ensure beneficial impacts of new technologies to augment human capabilities. We intend to develop a community of researchers studying these issues. Anyone interested in discussing research ideas or data needs should please get in touch, in this issue or by emailing @pcihon at pcihon@github.com.
