Labor

In the U.S., front-line workers’ attitudes toward unions are softening, especially among people under 30. Here’s what they want from their workplaces.

Institute professor Daron Acemoglu and MIT Sloan professor Simon Johnson have examined economic growth, digital advertising, and the Russian oil cap.

When stakeholders become more involved in generative AI design and implementation, it’s more likely that such tools will augment work rather than displace workers.

New research from MIT Sloan shows stiffer penalties are needed to incentivize employers to pay workers a minimum wage.

Emerging insights suggest road maps, policy recommendations, and calls for action regarding generative artificial intelligence.

In the short term, artificial intelligence systems may be too costly to use for most tasks.

A new metric — ‘employment carbon footprint’ — can better help determine the U.S. counties most vulnerable to economic disruption from decarbonization.

A new study finds that artificial intelligence has been adopted unevenly in the U.S., with use clustered in large companies, industries such as manufacturing and health care, and certain cities.

In new policy briefs, MIT researchers outline how to regulate large language models, label AI-generated content, and pursue “pro-worker AI.”

MIT’s Daron Acemoglu, David Autor, and Simon Johnson make the case for federal policies to encourage the development of AI that complements workers.
