Measuring AI’s impact on work goes beyond job losses, t’s about how tech reshapes skills & tasks. @estebanmoro.bsky.social and collaborators are building the 𝙊𝙗𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙖𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙮 𝙤𝙛 𝙐𝙎 𝙅𝙤𝙗 𝘿𝙞𝙨𝙧𝙪𝙥𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 to track job skills and predict unemployment risk more accurately.

A new PNAS study by @ngozzi.bsky.social, Nicola Perra & @alexvespi.bsky.social shows how COVID-era data, that includes behavioral analytics, can improve models of disease spread. This could improve future projections for both pandemics & seasonal illnesses.

COVID data revolutionized disease projection models. Northeastern researchers explain what’s next

Northeastern expert Alessandro Vespignani says spontaneous changes in behavior during outbreaks influence disease projection models.

Great paper, mixing my former field (surface growth) with my current topic (urban complex systems). Have you considered that cities can also grow vertically? I mean, population density growing in city centers as well?
