Modelling the macroeconomic impacts of generative AI

Artificial intelligence is already being adopted across economies, reshaping how firms work and beginning to feed through to productivity and labour markets. What remains deeply uncertain is the scale, speed, and distribution of its effects over the years ahead.

Oxford Economics has added a new AI scenario lever to its Global Economic Model, letting users turn different assumptions about generative AI into consistent, fully modelled macroeconomic outcomes. This webinar both introduces the capability and trains you to use it: how the lever works, how it flows through to productivity and labour market channels, and how to build and compare your own scenarios. Whether you already work in GEM or are seeing it for the first time, you will leave able to explore how AI could shape growth, employment, and productivity across countries and over time.

This webinar is being held on our new platform, ON24. If you do not receive your confirmation email, please check your junk and spam folders.
