Independent researcher Wren Clay has announced joining the think tank Windfall Trust as a Senior Researcher. He will be leading data and research projects focused on economic preparedness for transformative AI.
Over the past year, Clay has done substantial independent work in AI economics, including publishing his own displacement model, analyzing policy options for potential job losses, and advising various projects. His hiring is seen as a win for the independent 'post-to-impact' pipeline.
