xLab invites members of the Case Western Reserve University and local communities to a webinar about the impact potential of AI technologies on the labor market. Titled “GPTs are GPTs: How Large Language Models are Reshaping the Labor Market,” this session will be held Tuesday, Oct. 22, from 1 to 1:50 p.m. via Zoom.
Researchers from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania and the School of Computing and Information at the University of Pittsburgh will discuss their study findings suggesting a significant portion of jobs could be affected by large-language model technologies and which industries are most likely to be affected. The speakers also will share insights into the future of work in the age of AI.
About the speakers
Daniel Rock is an assistant professor of operations, information and decisions at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. His research is on the economic effects of digital technologies, with a particular emphasis on the economics of artificial intelligence. He has recently worked on studies addressing the types of occupations that are most exposed to machine learning, measuring the value of AI skillsets to employer firms, and adjusting productivity measurement to include investments in intangible assets.
Morgan Frank is an assistant professor at the School of Computing and Information at the University of Pittsburgh in the Department of Informatics and Networked Systems. He is interested in the complexity of AI, the future of work, and the socioeconomic consequences of technological change. While many studies focus on phenotypic labor trends, his recent research examines how genotypic skill-level processes around AI impact individuals and society. Combining labor research with investigations into the nature of AI research and the social or societal implications of AI adoption, Morgan hopes to inform our understanding of AI’s impact.
