DeepMind Hires Chief AGI Economist
Google DeepMind is creating a new job called Chief AGI Economist.
This person will study how economies might change when very smart AI, called AGI, becomes common.
The job is in London and involves looking at big questions like how wealth and resources will be shared in the future.
The economist will use special computer models to imagine different scenarios.
DeepMind wants someone who is an expert in economics and understands how technology affects society.
This shows that DeepMind is thinking seriously about how AI will change the world, not just how to build better AI.
Google DeepMind is hiring a Chief AGI Economist to lead research on post-AGI economic transformations.
The role will focus on understanding the long-term economic impacts of AGI and ASI, including scarcity and resource distribution.
The economist will develop economic simulations and agent-based models to explore different post-AGI scenarios.
The ideal candidate is a visionary thinker with a PhD in economics and expertise in economic modeling and forecasting.
