Для тех, кто интересуется исследованиями на стыке AI и экономики, можно в зуме послушать семинар

Alex Tamkin | Which Economic Tasks are Performed with AI? Evidence from Millions of Claude Conversations

Despite widespread speculation about artificial intelligence’s impact on the future of work, we lack systematic empirical evidence about how these systems are actually being used for different tasks. Here, we present a novel framework for measuring AI usage patterns across the economy. We leverage a recent privacy-preserving system [Tamkin et al., 2024] to analyze over four million Claude.ai conversations through the lens of tasks and occupations in the U.S. Department of Labor’s O*NET Database. Our analysis reveals that AI usage primarily concentrates in software development and writing tasks, which together account for nearly half of all total usage. However, usage of AI extends more broadly across the economy, with ∼ 36% of occupations using AI for at least a quarter of their associated tasks.

We also analyze how AI is being used for tasks, finding 57% of usage suggests augmentation of human capabilities (e.g., learning or iterating on an output) while 43% suggests automation (e.g., fulfilling a request with minimal human involvement). While our data and methods face important limitations and only paint a picture of AI usage on a single platform, they provide an automated, granular approach for tracking AI’s evolving role in the economy and identifying leading indicators of future impact as these technologies continue to advance.

Сегодня хочу поделиться приложением, которым я пользуюсь уже примерно 3 года, чтобы трекать время на рабочие проекты. Я много чего пробывала, но прижилось только оно. Сначала меня его заставляли использовать, чтобы трекать мои рабочие часы, чтобы их потом оплачивали. А потом я так привыкла, что трекую там вообще все.

Приложение (хотя я на самом деле использую веб сайт версию) - timeneye. Для личного пользования оно бесплатное, можно интегрировать даже в тимс и пригласить 2 коллабораторов. Единственное, что после 1 месяца подписки нужно будет аккуратно покликать и переключиться на бесплатную версию, в этом плане у них там не супер юзер-френдли отписка

SNF Agora Predoctoral Fellow Program 2025-27
Applications Due Sunday May 29, 2025 11:59pm EST

The SNF Agora Institute at Johns Hopkins University invites applicants who intend to pursue doctoral studies to apply for a Kelly Miller predoctoral fellowship in the SNF Agora Academy beginning July 1, 2025.

The SNF Agora Institute is an academic and public forum at Johns Hopkins University dedicated to strengthening global democracy through civic engagement and informed, rigorous dialogue.

Applicants must have a bachelor’s degree in any field awarded no earlier than 2021 and must not be enrolled in a PhD program. We encourage applicants who intend to pursue a PhD in political science, sociology, or history.

The program strongly encourages applications from scholars who are first-generation college graduates; and/or who are from a limited-income background; who attended Minority-serving Institutions (MSIs), including Historically Black Colleges or Universities (HBCUs) and Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs). In accordance with federal, state, and local law, scholars’ race, ethnicity, and gender will not be considered during the selection process.

The SNF Agora Academy seeks fellows who would engage actively with and benefit from a multidisciplinary scholarly community, academic and professional mentorship, and research development opportunities. Applicants must be interested in questions and topics directly related to the institute’s mission.

Predoctoral Fellows will be paired with two faculty mentors and one graduate student mentor. Fellows will have access to events and opportunities across campus and be expected to work/learn 40 hours per week pursuing multidisciplinary learning. Fellows will develop their own schedules, with hours divided between:

Research experience (50%)
By working as a research assistant for faculty mentors, and
Pursuing one’s own research interests, questions, literature review, and writing.
Intellectual engagement (25%)
By attending bi-weekly academic seminars in the institute and related departments.
Scholarly preparation (25%)
By taking one graduate-level course each semester to develop skills and knowledge for doctoral programs of choice, and
Participating in monthly fellow cohort meetings.

Fellows will be appointed for a one-year renewable term. In addition to the duties listed above, they will take the GRE exam and complete their graduate school applications with support from faculty, graduate students, and campus resources. Our goal is for each fellow to be able to enter a PhD program of choice at the conclusion of their two-year tenure with the institute. Fellows will receive a stipend, a modest relocation budget, and a modest conference/research budget.

In addition, the SNF Agora Institute will cover the costs associated with two sittings for the GRE exam, ten graduate school applications, and sending official transcripts and scores.
