I am thrilled about this episode in the ongoing Process This series on Artificial Intelligence. In this episode, my series co-host and author of God-Like: A 500-Year History of Artificial Intelligence in Myths, Machines, Monsters, Kester Brewin, is joined by Nobel Prize-winning economist Professor Sir Christopher Pissarides. Reflecting on his career and insights, Pissarides discusses the historical and future impacts of technological changes on labor markets. He offers an optimistic yet cautious view on AI, emphasizing the importance of communication, strategic regulation, and the complementary use of AI to enhance human work. The conversation also explores the role of stakeholder economies, the need for better communication of economic impacts, and strategies for mitigating potential disruptions caused by AI. Pissarides concludes with thoughts on the necessity of collaboration among government, employers, and technologists to navigate the future of work effectively.
