As a Chief AGI Economist at Google DeepMind (GDM), you will be at the forefront of understanding the profound economic transformations that will accompany the arrival of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and Artificial Superintelligence (ASI). You will lead a new area of research, exploring post AGI economics, the future of scarcity, and the distribution of power and resources in a world fundamentally reshaped by advanced AI.
About us
Artificial Intelligence could be one of humanity's most useful inventions. At Google DeepMind, we’re a team of scientists, engineers, machine learning experts and more, working together to advance the state of the art in artificial intelligence. We use our technologies for widespread public benefit and scientific discovery, and collaborate with others on critical challenges, ensuring safety and ethics are the highest priority.
The role
We are investigating the fundamental questions that will arise in a post AGI world. One of the most critical and least understood of these is the economy. This role will establish and champion a new workstream focused on AGI economics, building on the foundational thinking of our existing work.
You will be responsible for developing and driving a research agenda that moves beyond near term impacts to ask foundational questions about economics in a world with AGI. Your work will inform GDM’s strategy and contribute to the global conversation on how to build a prosperous and equitable future with AGI.
Key responsibilities
Lead and develop the research vision for the AGI Economics workstream, identifying key questions and priorities.
Design and build economic simulations and models, including agent based systems, to explore post AGI scenarios.
Conduct foundational research on the long term economic impacts of AGI, questioning existing assumptions about scarcity, wealth, and distribution.
Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of researchers across GDM.
Engage with external experts and institutions to build our research capacity and bring diverse perspectives into our work.
Communicate your findings internally to senior stakeholders, and externally through publications and other artifacts.
Build and manage a research team.
About you
You are a visionary thinker with deep expertise in economics and a passion for understanding the societal impact of technology. You are comfortable working in a highly exploratory and ambiguous research environment, and are driven by intellectual curiosity to tackle some of the most challenging questions of our time.
