About this episode
Artificial intelligence feels different from previous technological innovations because it can write, reason, analyze and generate ideas. In other words, it can do at least some of the things many white-collar workers thought made them irreplaceable. So, is AI going to eliminate jobs or transform them? And what will it do to the culture of the workplace — and to the way younger workers develop the judgment and expertise they need to build a career?
Fabien Curto Millet, Google’s chief economist, joins host Megan McArdle to discuss. Google recently examined 15 million interactions with its AI tools to understand how people are actually using this tech at work and in their everyday lives. Millet breaks down what Google's findings could mean for the future of work.
