Does automation look more like a crashing wave hitting some workers and not others, or a broadly rising tide? Our latest Substack post from @adamkuzee explains the concepts and data behind a recent MIT FutureTech paper on the shape of AI progress: mitfuturetech.substack.com/p… @MITSloan @MIT_CSAIL @ProfNeilT #AI #Automation #FutureOfAI #FutureOfWork #AIResearch #MITFutureTech

@ylecun this should help - anyone can see for themselves how automation will effect occupations in our new tool: expertise.mit.edu. Based on expertise paper by @davidautor and @ProfNeilT tl;dr: in some jobs, automation eliminates expert tasks, reduces wages, and permits entry of less expert workers. In others, it eliminates inexpert tasks, boosts wages, and raises barriers to entry #AI #Automation #FutureOfWork #LaborEconomics

@ProfNeilT kicks off the #google #MITFuturetech #AIfortheEconomyForum with our findings on AI automation from Thousands of Worker Evaluations of Labor Market Tasks. Read the full paper: arxiv.org/abs/2604.01363

Patrick Rich from @IBMResearch shares how foundation models accelerate scientific discovery: from experiments to algorithms. “We are at the dawn of a new algorithmic era powered by new representations of information” #foundationmodels #AIResearch #MITFutureTech

AI Adoption in Biology is accelerating new approaches to Drug Discovery via methods such as Cell Painting, as discussed by @shantanuXsingh from The Broad Institute. Advances in technology don't necessarily result in decreased costs in drug discovery however, a phenenom dubbed "Eroom's Law" - the opposite of Moore's law.

Excellent perspective from @KarianneBergen on educating the next generation of researchers in the context of #GenAI #AIConference #AIResearch #MITFutureTech

@GaryMarcus delivers a bitter lesson on the bitter lesson - scaling works well only for some problems - mainly pattern recognition - but not others #AIExpert #Scaling #MITFutureTech #AIConference

Why do consumers go with closed models when open options are often more powerful and less expensive? @frank_nagle points out people often think they can't use "open" models because the world would know their data - which is exactly backwards as open models can be run entirely privately #AIConference #AIExpert #MITFutureTech
