AI for science could be more impactful than chatbots. It is already helping win Nobel prizes and accelerating drug development and materials discovery.
Today we published an essay about it: why it matters, how it’s happening and its implications. Here is a summary from an econ / social sci lens.

"Artificial Intelligence and the Labor Market"
Nice analysis of LinkedIn data to estimate the impact of AI on jobs between 2010 and 2023.

It illustrates the complexity of AI economic impacts: what exposure taketh away, complementarities and productivity giveth.

Metascience and AI postdoctoral fellowship
Cool @sloanfoundation.bsky.social opportunity for anyone interested in studying AI x science adoption and impact. It is also very aligned with the evidence and experimentation recommendation in our recent essay!

"Antivenom Renaissance"
Nice illustration of how AI can accelerate science by helping find needles in different types of haystacks.
1. AI is being used to design proteins that neutralise venoms. The haystack is the space of all possible protein designs.

Could much of the recent drama about DeepSeek be rooted on flawed causal thinking i.e. neglecting the counterfactual? Dario Amodei makes a compelling case here.

"Employment dynamics in a rapid decarbonization of the US power sector"

Cool complexity economics analysis of a scenario that sadly looks a bit sci-fi in the current political circumstances. It would be interesting to study labour market impacts of AI with this approach.

Hello #EconSky, a simple question but one where I have not yet found the answer. What should I read to get a quantitative empirical understanding of the contemporary relationship, both size and timing, between scientific discovery and productivity growth?

"How technoscientific knowledge advances"
The genesis of TS revolutions was one of the best innovation books in recent years. In this new essay, the authors summarise and expand its ideas.

I am enjoying the Justified Posterior podcast, where
Seth Benzell and Andrey Fradkin discuss economics of AI papers. They weren't that impressed with Acemoglu's macroeconomics of AI paper.

The GenCast paper is very cool. I specially loved the analysis of the relative economic value of different weather prediction models. This shows that GenCast could improve efficiency by helping decision-makers prepare for extreme weather events when they need to.
