Description

David Autor, MIT's Daniel and Gail Rubinfeld professor of economics, is a leading thinker and researcher on how AI could reshape the labor market. While he says AI could revolutionize how we work, it won't replace human intuition. In this episode, Autor joins St. Louis Fed Economic Education Officer Scott Wolla and explains how he challenges students to use technology as a collaborator, not a crutch. He also discusses his approach for pushing students to focus on how economics can solve real-world problems.
