This grant supports Ajay Agrawal, Avi Goldfarb, Joshua Gans, and Catherine Tucker, who are coordinating a conference on the economics of artificial intelligence at the Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto. Five years since its successful launch in 2017, the fall 2022 instalment of the conference will focus on specific applications of AI—particularly in the realms of national security, infrastructure, and health. The conference will, therefore, seek to connect the community of economics of AI scholars with scholars from these disciplines. AI applications like those in health economics, for example, precipitate questions about privacy, ethics, venture capital, and regulatory issues. In addition to activities relating to the conference, the organizers are also planning to join efforts with the Sloan-supported Working Group on the Economics of Digitization at the National Bureau of Economic Research.
