AI for science could be more impactful than chatbots. It is already helping win Nobel prizes and accelerating drug development and materials discovery. Today we published an essay about why it matters, how it’s happening and its implications. Let’s look at it like economists.

Friendly reminder⭐️⭐️ deadline coming up The NBER Innovation Information Initiative (I3), a data collaborative for open innovation data and related analytics, tools, and metrics, will run the second cohort of Open Data Fellows for 2025, after a successful first program in 2023. The I3 will award five or more fellowships of $1500 each to graduate students in economics, innovation, entrepreneurship, or related fields. The fellowships aim to broaden the range of datasets, tools and documentation accessible to the research community, support a new generation of researchers in producing and sharing high-quality, reusable research data and code, and provide a network of support for these researchers. Fellows will be given the opportunity to present posters of their work at a future I3 meeting. Specifically, I3 fellowships will support students to contribute new datasets, tools, code, and/or metadata to the innovation community. These contributions may come in the form either of a new project, or an existing project in need of further development. We are particularly keen to support students working on creating validation datasets. We intend for this program to include a diversity of work. Our primary requirement is that your project is developed with the intention of public dissemination in mind. If you have ideas for projects beyond the types described above, feel free to contact Bhaven Sampat (bhaven.sampat@asu.edu) and/or Agnes Cameron (agnescam@mit.edu), or just submit. The fellowships will run from January to December 2025. The program is intended to be supportive, collaborative, and not a major time commitment, with periodic one-on-one and group meetings to share progress and provide guidance. This call is open to current graduate (Masters or PhD) students or those who graduated in the past six months. International applicants, including those on US student visas, may have specific considerations that could affect the payment process. We recommend consulting your international students office prior to applying to determine your eligibility to receive fellowship stipend payments and travel reimbursement from the NBER. Please submit your proposal using this google form by November 18th, 2024: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…
