    New paper: “The Household Impact of Generative AI.” While most existing research focuses on AI’s impact “at work”, our joint work with Michael Blank and @gregorschub suggests the effects may be even larger “at home”, based on billions of internet browsing visits.

    🚨 New Working Paper! 🚨 Time to talk about "The Household Impact of GenAI", covered by the @WSJ ! In this paper, we ask what GenAI is doing to productivity outside of work - and find evidence of large impacts. arxiv.org/pdf/2603.03144 (w/ @rainozhang, Michael Blank) 🧵(1/n)

    Had a fantastic workshop day at @OpenAI in SF! Huge thanks to OpenAI's Economic Research Team for the invitation. We had a blast presenting our upcoming paper on “Household Impact of Generative AI” (joint with @SchubertGregor & Michael Blank). Lots of fun and great job, Gregor!

    Technology not only replaces jobs but also creates new jobs over the long run. A great piece.

    This picture summarizes two strands of literature I read recently: (1) Human working with social network and (2) AI working with texts and pictures.
