Google strengthens its research program on the impacts of AI on the economy, bringing in Nobel laureate Philippe Aghion and other economists
Google is expanding AI & Economy Research Program with new senior researchers – economist Philippe Aghion (Nobel Prize in economics 2025) as an advisor, Ajay Agrawal as a Visiting Fellow, and Anu Madgavkar together with Daniel Rock as directors of research into the impacts of AI on work and productivity.
Research from the program should gradually provide more specific data on how AI is changing individual occupations and labor productivity, which may eventually influence personal career decisions as well, but for now this is only an announcement of new research leaders.
