오늘 우리는 워싱턴 D.C.에 사람들을 모아 AI가 경제와 일자리에 어떤 영향을 미칠지 논의합니다. MIT FutureTech와 공동 주최한 첫 번째 'AI 경제 포럼(AI for the Economy Forum)'에서 우리는 하나의 단순한 전제로 시작합니다: 그것은 AI의 혜택이든 위험이든 결코 자동으로 주어지거나 보장되지 않는다는 것입니다. AI가 우리의 삶, 일자리, 경제에 어떤 영향을 미칠지는 우리 사회가 함께 만들어 나갈 수 있는 문제입니다. 그리고 AI의 경제적 잠재력을 충분히 실현하려면 기업, 근로자, 정부, 연구자 등 각계각층 간의 새로운 협력의 시대가 필요합니다.

이 포럼에서 경제학자, 업계 리더, 정책 입안자, 전문가들이 모여 정보를 공유하고, 현재의 이해 부족한 부분을 파악하며, 지속적인 협력의 기반을 다질 것입니다. 구글은 이러한 변화를 긍정적으로 이끌어가는 데 오랜 노력을 기울여 왔습니다. 오늘 우리는 두 가지 중요한 측면에서 이러한 노력을 더욱 강화하고 있습니다.

첫째, 정부, 기업, 연구자 및 시민 사회가 올바른 결정을 내리는 데 필요한 정보를 확보할 수 있도록 연구에 새로운 투자를 진행합니다. 둘째, 사람들이 변화하는 경제 속에서 필요로 하는 기술을 습득할 수 있도록 교육 기회를 제공합니다.

AI가 경제를 어떻게 변화시킬지 이해하기 위한 연구 투자 구글의 'AI 및 경제 연구 프로그램(AI & Economy Research Program)'은 AI가 경제와 일자리에 미치는 영향에 대한 사회적으로 가장 시급한 질문들에 대한 해답을 찾는 데 도움을 줄 것입니다. 이 프로그램은 외부 전문가들과의 깊은 협력을 지원합니다. 우리의 방문 연구원(Visiting Fellows) 프로그램은 MIT의 데이비드 아우토(David Autor)와 같은 저명한 경제학자들을 초빙해 독창적인 연구를 수행하게 합니다. 또한 '디지털 퓨처스 프로젝트(Digital Futures Project)'는 MIT의 벤 암스트롱(Ben Armstrong)과 줄리아 샤(Julia Shah)의 연구를 지원하여, 기업이 근로자와 회사 모두에게 이익이 되는 AI 도구의 사용을 장려하는 방법을 탐구했습니다. 그들의 연구는 단조로운 작업을 최소화하고, 학습을 촉진하며, 협력을 증진하는 AI 활용에서 가장 큰 성공을 거두었다는 사실을 발견했습니다.

우리는 이를 바탕으로 직장, 조직의 생산성, 산업 및 경제 전반의 변혁에 대한 최첨단 연구를 수행하는 새로운 연구진에게 Google.org의 자금 지원과 Google Cloud 크레딧을 제공할 계획입니다. 또한 노동 시장에 미치는 AI의 영향, 제조 및 헬스케어 분야의 특정 산업 변화, 노동력 기회를 극대화하는 데 필요한 정책 환경 등을 조사하는 글로벌 연구 기관 커호트(cohort)에게도 Google.org의 지원을 제공합니다. 더불어 지식 노동자의 생산성에 대한 생성형 AI(Generative AI)의 실제 영향부터 AI 에이전트(AI agents)의 경제학까지 다양한 주제에 대한 내부 연구 노력도 확장하고 있습니다. 이 연구를 이끌기 위해 노벨 경제학상 수상자인 마이클 스펜스(Michael Spence), 케임브리지 대학교의 다이앤 코일(Dame Diane Coyle) 여사, PIMCO 전 CEO이자 와튼 스쿨 교수인 모하메드 엘-에리안(Mohamed El-Erian) 등 학계 자문위원들의 전문 지식을 활용하고 있습니다.

훈련과 기회를 위한 새로운 경로 지원 사람들이 유용한 교육과 기술 개발 프로그램에 접근할 수 있도록 보장하는 것이 매우 중요합니다.

Generative AI is experimental [[duration]] minutes Voice Speed Voice Speed 0.75X 1X 1.5X 2X Today we’re bringing people together in Washington D.C. to discuss how AI will impact the economy and jobs. At our inaugural AI for the Economy Forum, co-hosted with MIT FutureTech, we’re starting with a simple premise: neither the benefits nor the risks are automatic or guaranteed. How AI impacts our lives, jobs and economy is something we as a society can shape – and fully realizing AI’s economic potential will require a new era of partnership between companies, workers, governments, researchers and more. At the forum, economists, industry leaders, policymakers and experts will gather to share information, identify gaps in current understanding, and lay the foundation for ongoing collaboration. Google has a long-standing commitment to helping positively shape this transition. Today, we’re building on that commitment in two critical ways. First, we are making new investments in research to ensure governments, companies, researchers, and civil society have the information required to make smart decisions. Second, we are providing training opportunities to equip people with the skills needed to navigate a changing economy. Investing in research to understand how AI will change the economy Google’s AI & Economy Research Program will help answer some of society’s most pressing questions about AI’s impact on the economy and work. The program supports deep collaboration with external experts. Our Visiting Fellows program brings leading economists, like MIT’s David Autor, to produce original research. Our Digital Futures Project supported work from MIT’s Ben Armstrong and Julia Shah to explore how firms can encourage the use of AI tools that benefit both workers and companies. Their research found the most success in uses of AI that minimize drudgery, promote learning and foster collaboration. We’re expanding on this with Google.org funding and Google Cloud credits for a new group of researchers conducting cutting-edge research on work, organizational productivity, and transformation across sectors and economies. We’re also providing Google.org support for a global cohort of research institutions investigating AI’s impact on labor markets, sector-specific transformations in manufacturing and healthcare, the policy environments needed to maximize workforce opportunity, and more. And we’re expanding our internal research efforts on a variety of topics, from the real-world impact of generative AI on knowledge-worker productivity to the economics of AI agents . To help guide this work, we’re drawing on the expertise of our academic advisors: Nobel Laureate Michael Spence, Cambridge University’s Dame Diane Coyle, and former CEO of PIMCO and Wharton School professor Mohamed El-Erian. Supporting new avenues for training and opportunity Making sure people have access to helpful training and skill building programs is essential to preparing people for an evolving world. Google knows how to do this at scale. To date, we’ve trained 100 million people globally in digital skills – more than 13 million in the U.S. – and we’ve designed new programs like our AI Professional Certificate , designed to move people beyond basic literacy to AI fluency. Our $120 million Global AI Opportunity Fund is making AI education and training available in communities around the world. We know the AI transition will require different approaches to training and skills development, and education, so we’re working across sectors on three new Google.org -funded programs: With the Johnson & Johnson Foundation, we are funding an effort to train rural healthcare workers on AI literacy and provide practical tools, allowing them to spend less time on paperwork, more time with patients, and ultimately lead to better health outcomes. We’re supporting the Apprenticeships Unlocked initiative, led by Jobs for the Future , which will mobilize 100 companies to create new apprenticeships in high-demand and emerging sectors across the U.S. We’re working with the Manufacturing Institute (MI) to equip 40,000 current and future manufacturing employees with critical AI skills and expand apprenticeship opportunities to 15 new U.S. regions. This follows the Google AI Educator Series , our recent initiative with ISTE+ASCD to provide Google AI products and comprehensive AI literacy training to all 6 million K12 teachers and higher ed faculty in the U.S. These new investments are part of Google’s broader AI Works initiative, efforts that span partnerships, trainings and investments, to ensure that everyone can benefit from technological progress. Building a strong foundation This work builds on our foundational investments including $1 billion to support AI education, job training programs, and other education-related initiatives in the U.S . and the tens of billions of dollars we’ve invested in U.S. technical infrastructure, research and development, and expanded energy capacity to help get our economy AI ready. We’re committed because, over time, we’ve seen the power of digital tools, including AI, as an engine for economic mobility, helping level the playing field for businesses and people everywhere. Our most recent annual U.S. Economic Impact Report includes stories of businesses from every state who are using technology to grow. But realizing this potential requires smart governance alongside private investment. That is why we recently endorsed sensible policies to help policymakers understand how AI is impacting the economy while preparing and supporting workers during this transition. The bills will help America prepare for the AI transition in three key ways: assess AI’s economic impact, equip the workforce with AI skills, and encourage AI adoption that empowers workers. Ultimately, no single entity can manage this shift alone. We see the forum as an important step in building the collaboration, partnerships, and understanding needed to help to navigate the AI transition successfully.
