Here’s An Interesting Take On A.I.

I heard this earlier this week on the People I (Mostly) Admire podcast.

Steven Levitt is talking to economist David Autor and the discussion morphed from labor vs. capital markets into speculation about what the impact of A.I. will be on the labor force.

Like Levitt, I’m probably more pessimistic on the subject than Autor is, but he does provide some perspectives I hadn’t considered. Of course he’s spent considerably more time thinking about this than I have, not to mention being smarter than me.

The A.I. discussion starts at 36:00 and goes until 53:00
