Welcome to Goldman Sachs Exchanges.
I'm Alison Nathan, and I'm here with George Lee, co-head of the Goldman Sachs Global Institute.
Together,
we're co-hosting a series of episodes exploring the rise of AI and everything it could mean for companies,
investors, and economies.
George, great to see you again.
You too, Alison.
Thank you.
So, George, today we're discussing one of the biggest anxieties,
I would say, about the rise of AI, which is the impact on jobs.
I would say even prior to the amazing advances in the technology that we've seen over the last few years and that you and I have discussed a lot on this podcast,
there have been a lot of questions about the extent to which AI will ultimately replace workers.
And if that happens to a large extent, what industries, what roles will be most impacted.
It's now been almost three years though since we've seen the launch of ChatGPT,
which is very hard to believe.
I think time flies when you're having fun.
But that means that we're actually beginning to see some hard data that I think could finally reveal some questions,
or at least start to reveal some answers to these questions.
So to that end, I'm excited to welcome my colleague from Goldman Investment Research,
Joseph Briggs, who leads our global economics research.
