Stanford Digital Economy Lab Launches AI Indicators

The Stanford Digital Economy Lab, a part of the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence, has launched the AI Economic Indicators, a free platform designed to track the economic impact of artificial intelligence. This platform offers regularly updated data, interactive dashboards, and research-based methods to help policymakers, researchers, employers, and workers understand how AI is reshaping work, productivity, and value creation. The initial release includes three dashboards: the Canaries Dashboard, a collaboration with ADP (company) Research, which tracks labor market outcomes in AI-exposed occupations; the Takeoff Tracker, which measures indicators of AI-driven economic acceleration; and the Adoption Monitor, which tracks AI adoption by workers and firms. Erik Brynjolfsson, Director of the Stanford Digital Economy Lab, emphasized the need for timely, trusted evidence to navigate the consequential period of AI's effects.
