OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
The Political Economy of Worker Retraining in the Age of AI
Postgraduate students, fellows, staff and faculty from any discipline are welcome. This group aims to foster frequent interdisciplinary critical dialogue across Oxford and beyond about the political impacts of emerging technologies.
Please contact Elisabeth Siegel at elisabeth.siegel@politics.ox.ac.uk in advance to participate or with any questions. Remote attendance is possible, but in-person attendance is prioritized (and provided refreshment).
Discussion topics will be finalized and optional readings will be sent out a week in advance. You do not currently have to be affiliated with the University of Oxford to attend and participate in discussions.
About the speaker: Julian Jacobs is a political economist at the University of Oxford specialising in artificial intelligence policy, the political implications of technological shocks, inequality, debt, and polarisation. His previous research looked at the relationship between technological disruption and socio-political views, with a focus on populism, class dealignment, and polarisation. This writing and research has previously been featured in the New York Times, Financial Times, Vox, Politico, Bloomberg, and Jacobin. He is a Senior Economist at OMFIF—a monetary policy think tank—where he helps to drive our AI policy workstream. And he is a consultant at The Brookings Institution and Center for AI Safety.
