01 Research

What AI does to work and knowledge

Recent work maps which occupational tasks are exposed to AI, asks how AI changes the economics of codifying knowledge, follows the move of AI researchers from universities into industry, and develops a modular approach to digital sovereignty.

I have used natural language processing in my research since my PhD in 2012. Today I work on how large language models can serve as research instruments, with attention to reproducibility and locally run open models.

I have written reports for UNESCO (the neurotechnology landscape), the G20 Digital Economy Working Group (a toolkit to reduce AI-related inequalities) and CAISA (AGI and its societal implications, digital sovereignty).

Language models as research instruments: a mix, not one tool

  1. Text datadocuments, patents, transcripts
  2. Small local modelsfirst pass, open models on our own machines
  3. Large modelson samples
  4. Trained classifiersfor the full data
  5. Human reviewof the unsure cases
