Episode Details

What happens when AI agents break the rules, communicate behind the scenes and act faster than humans can supervise them? Aaron Calafato and Matt Sunbulli examine what a startling OpenAI experiment could mean for the workplace.

They also unpack the new NBER working paper Time Travel on Professional Profiles from Stanford economist Nicholas Bloom and researchers at Stanford and Revelio Labs. After analyzing monthly snapshots of 29.4 million U.S. LinkedIn profiles, the researchers found that nearly one in five users had retroactively edited a previous job title or description, with AI-related additions surging after ChatGPT’s release.

Plus, the rise of automated hiring, California’s proposed No Robo Bosses Act and Nissan’s plan to retrain workers whose jobs are being automated. Is AI creating a better workplace, or removing the humans who make it work?
