‘Occupational Heterogeneity in Exposure to Generative AI’ with Robert Seamans, Professor of Management and Organizations, Professor of Economics, Director, Center for the Future of Management, NYU Stern School of Business

Date: Thursday, April 18th

Time: 12pm to 1pm ET

Location: Zoom

Professor Seamans will discuss his paper (Occupational Heterogeneity in Exposure to Generative AI with Ed Felten and Manav Raj), to analyze how generative Artificial Intelligence – including language modeling and image generation – has led many to question the effect of technology on the economy. He will review the profile of occupations most or least exposed to generative AI (including characteristics of the jobs), consider how demographic variation will impact exposure, and discuss the rapidity of its spread. Additionally, Professor Seamans will suggest how the government could play a role in helping people adapt to changes in generative AI.
