■ In this week's AI Lab:Economists find the clearest evidence yet of AI-driven job displacement. Also: An AMD-powered open source model from South Korea, a laboratory filled with AI research agents, and GPT-5’s impressive but limited math skills.
Advances in artificial intelligence are often accompanied by dire predictions of job displacement. A new report from Stanford University provides some of the clearest evidence yet that tools like ChatGPT are indeed replacing some jobs—primiarly for younger people.
Subscribe today to continue receiving my full newsletter each week. I've been writing about AI and related themes for over a decade (since neural networks were considered a dead end, in fact). I'm fascinated by how innovation occurs and how it affects the economy. And I want to understand the global picture, rather than just the world as viewed through the lens of Silicon Valley.
So, if you're keen to keep track of advances from the world of computing—AI, robotics, quantum, chipmaking, and more—that have the potential to transform the way we live ... this is the newsletter you for you.
