AI2050 Project

Raymond’s project investigates how AI is reshaping not only the balance between labor and capital but also the global organization of work across workers, firms, and countries. This project combines economic theory, experiments, and novel data to broader ripple effects of this technological shift on labor markets, while also building computational tools to better measure and understand AI adoption.The goal is to equip economists, policymakers, businesses, and the public with new tools to understand, anticipate, and shape the impact of AI on work.
