Ranking the States With the Most AI Businesses

metamorworks / Getty Images Tech darling Nvidia ( NASDAQ: NVDA ) announced on Sunday its newest artificial intelligence chip — just three months after unveiling the previous model. Clearly, the AI chip leader wants to keep its top spot in the space. Aiming to challenge it, Advanced Micro Devices ( NASDAQ: AMD ) unveiled its latest AI chip a day after. Other competitors, established companies and budding startups, also want to join this competitive space as AI is increasingly being used by companies, governments, and people.

Artificial Intelligence and Job Automation

Artificial Intelligence and Job Automation

ISLAMABAD – According to a recent report by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), artificial intelligence (AI) is expected to have a significant influence on approximately 40% of professions in Pakistan. IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva voiced worries that the nation’s inequality may grow if artificial intelligence is used unrestrained. She issued a warning, stating that the wealthy and well-educated portions of society will probably gain more from AI.

The innovations of AI based systems in the workplace has been rising concerns of massive job losses and the widening of the economic divides. When the technology was not so highly developed […]

Benefits Of Incorporating AI Into Robotics

Benefits Of Incorporating AI Into Robotics

Nearly three million industrial robots are currently employed in factories all over the world, as reported by the International Federation of Robots (IFR). Understanding Robotics And AI

As more and more sectors come to rely on them, robots are moving from the realm of science fiction and the hyperactive imagination to the mainstream.

Robotics is a subfield of AI that focuses on the design and implementation of autonomous robots and other intelligent machines. Robotics is interdisciplinary since robots are mechanically constructed, include electrical components, and are controlled by computer code. Although robots and AI are aimed at separate problems and […]

Scholar proposes a new regulatory model to strengthen workers’ bargaining powers.Developing technologies may replace as many as 300 million full-time jobs. Workers increasingly fear that their job security is just one software update or algorithm away from becoming obsolete.In a recent article , law professor Cynthia Estlund exposes yet another hidden cost to the rise of technology: workers’ depressed bargaining power. Estlund explains that improvements in automation have diminished U.S. workers’ ability to negotiate better working conditions and higher wages. She argues that states should intervene and use their regulatory power to address […]

Bridging the innovation gap: AI and robotics as drivers of China’s urban innovation

Bridging the innovation gap: AI and robotics as drivers of China’s urban innovation

VoxEU Column Productivity and Innovation In recent years, the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics to revolutionise production processes and stimulate innovation has attracted considerable attention (e.g. Presidente and Calì 2022). Despite this, their capacity to address disparities in innovation remains underexplored. In our recent paper (Rodríguez-Pose and You 2024) we delve into the capacity of AI and robotics to not only spearhead technological innovation, but also to trigger innovation in the less developed and less innovative Chinese cities – those places where traditional innovation-boosting policies have often failed. The geographical concentration of innovation

New Frontiers: The Origins and Content of New Work, 1940—2018

Technological change transforms economies and labor markets, reshaping the types of jobs that are available, the wages they pay, and the skills they require. Much recent empirical work has documented the displacement of labor from existing job tasks by automation technology, including robots and software. However, this literature has primarily treated the set of human job tasks as finite and static, implying that as automation proceeds, labor is confined to an ever-narrowing scope of activities. Casual observation and historical evidence suggest this is at odds with reality: as employment in (previously) labor-intensive sectors such as agriculture, textiles, mining, and […]

As artificial intelligence (AI) reshapes industry after industry, we will soon witness not just the automation of tasks but also the proliferation of elevated mediocrity—a tidal wave of “good enough” AI-driven outputs that will flood markets with astonishing speed. This relentless pace of disruptive imitation will do more than enhance productivity—it will spawn a cottage industry where constant self-disruption by look-alikes is the norm, and the traditional venture capital model struggles for relevance.

In this brave new world, every revolutionary idea will be instantly met with a legion of fast […]
