I'VE BEEN WORKING ON
|
|
The New GDP 2.0 project, which investigates the quantity, quality, and availability of data generated by the world's economies. Since AI demands data, these measurements bear on countries' strength and preparedness with respect to the AI boom.
|
|
AN INSIGHT I DISCOVERED
|
|
Many developing countries, although they tend to generate the least data overall, share notable similarities with data powerhouses USA and China — in particular, a tendency to prioritize domestic strengths such as technological innovation as opposed to international regulatory frameworks.
|
|
I'M PASSIONATE ABOUT
|
|
Using rigorous quantitative analysis to inform and strengthen qualitative analysis. The better we understand the world, the better poised we are to improve it.
