Today we’re launching The Human Endeavor, a new interview series with @TIME Studios on how we put technology to work to expand human potential. For our first conversation, I sat down with MIT’s Daron Acemoglu, winner of the 2024 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences. Daron makes a compelling case for pro-worker AI that expands what frontline workers can do rather than sidelining them. Daron is optimistic that AI can deliver shared prosperity, but he’s clear that it won’t happen by default. He points to an earlier era of technological change, when automakers created new kinds of work that helped raise wages and expand opportunity. The choices we make now, from how we design work to how we tax it, will help determine whether AI can do the same. @Cognizant
