The Digitalist Papers series turns to the economics of transformative AI—technology that could usher in economic change comparable to the Industrial Revolution but with far greater speed and scope. Volume 2 features 21 essays from some of the brightest minds in the digital economy. Now available in hardcover, paperback, and for smart devices.
The Lab is directed by Erik Brynjolfsson, whose research focuses on the economic implications of digital technologies and artificial intelligence. One of the most cited authors on the economics of information, Brynjolfsson was among the first researchers to measure productivity contributions of IT and the complementary role of organizational capital and other intangibles.
