Three Years After Trial Launch, Ireland Is Making Basic Income for Artists Program Permanent
                Several years after launching a trial, Ireland is set to make its basic income for artists program permanent starting in 2026.
            
        
    
    
            Fears of tech-driven job losses often prompt discussion of universal basic income. But do such programs work?
New evidence from Ireland says yes: A pilot UBI for artists cost โฌ72 million but generated โฌ80 million in benefits to the Irish economy.

                Yes, it still makes plenty of mistakes, but it has become part of the job for many.
            
        
    
    
            The NY Times recently published examples of AI use at work: www.nytimes.com/interactive/....
My favorite: A music teacher using ChatGPT to โ(More politely) let band students know they didnโt make the cutโ. Her prompt: โMake it more Gen Xโ.

            I have a new research paper that explores the question of whether the gains of new technologies could be more equitably shared between firms and workers. Excited about the results ("win-win" outcomes are possible!) and expanding the scope of this research going forward! Check it out:

            Populations are getting older, bringing major challenges for living standards, labour markets & social cohesion.
 
GDP per capita growth is projected to slow down from 1% to 0.6% across OECD countries due to population ageing.
