We build bicycles for the mind — algorithms that enhance rather than replace human capacity. Economists + computer scientists @MIT + @UChicago.

Economics has a lamppost problem: we study what our data already measure. Unstructured data and AI will change that and that will be transformative.

I'm excited to give the NBER Methods Lecture with @MelissaLDell this Thursday: "Estimation and Inference with AI-Generated Data."

We're so thrilled for you, @keyonV ! 🎉🎉🎉

(And delighted that we get one more year with you at The Bike Shop before you head to Berkeley!)

Thrilled to share I'll be joining UC Berkeley next year as an assistant professor in @UCBStatistics and affiliated with @Berkeley_EECS.

My research will build methods to test/improve the implicit world models of AI systems, so that they reflect reality and human understanding.
