Google is hiring an economist to understand how advanced AI could affect our wallets
"You will lead a new area of research, exploring post-AGI economics, the future of scarcity, and the distribution of power and resources in a world fundamentally reshaped by advanced AI,"
""to explore post-AGI scenarios.""
""long-term economic impacts of AGI, questioning existing assumptions about scarcity, wealth, and distribution.""
""One of the big things economists should be thinking about is, what does that do to money, the capitalist system, even the notion of companies? I think probably all that changes.""
Google DeepMind is recruiting a Senior AI Economist to investigate how artificial general intelligence could transform scarcity, wealth, and the distribution of power and resources. The role involves building economic simulations and models to explore post-AGI scenarios and conducting research on the long-term economic impacts of AGI, challenging existing assumptions about scarcity, wealth, and distribution. The position requires a strong background in economics and leadership of a new research area examining how money, capitalist systems, and the notion of companies might change under AGI. Other AI firms, including Anthropic, are hiring for related economic-impact research. Demis Hassabis has called for an institute of experts to govern AGI to manage potential societal risks.
