At Google DeepMind, we’re a team of scientists, engineers, machine learning experts and more, working together to advance the state of the art in artificial intelligence. We use our technologies for widespread public benefit and scientific discovery, and collaborate with others on critical challenges, ensuring safety and ethics are the highest priority. The role We are investigating the fundamental questions that will arise in a post-AGI world. One of the most critical and least understood of these is the economy. This role will establish and champion a new workstream focused on AGI economics, building on the foundational thinking of our existing work. You will be responsible for developing and driving a research agenda that moves beyond near-term impacts to ask foundational questions about economics in a world with AGI. Your work will inform GDM's strategy and contribute to the global conversation on how to build a prosperous and equitable future with AGI. Key responsibilities Lead and develop the research vision for the AGI Economics workstream, identifying key questions and priorities. Design and build economic simulations and models, including agent-based systems, to explore post-AGI scenarios. Conduct foundational research on the long-term economic impacts of AGI, questioning existing assumptions about scarcity, wealth, and distribution.
