Stanford team wins Laude grant to study human-AI collaboration, not automation
stanfordnlp · x · 2026-11-05
Laude Institute awarded a seed grant to Stanford's "Collaborative Intelligence for the Future of Work" project with Erik Brynjolfsson, Tatsunori Hashimoto, Diyi Yang and Chris Piech. Their thesis: most work AI aims to automate tasks; this team instead studies collaboration. The project builds tools to measure how AI changes work across industries, simulated environments where humans and AI learn to collaborate, and real-time tracking of economic ripple effects — aiming to prepare workers and policymakers for one of the biggest economic transitions in modern history. Full interviews drop tomorrow.
