An AI Measurement Science (AIMS) Seminar Series
Phil Lewis from the National Center for O*NET Development will talk about data infrastructure the US Department of Labor provides, and how AI is used to update it. A panel with Diyi Yang from the Stanford Computer Science Department and DEL’s Erik Brynjolfsson will discuss the opportunities of a new partnership between Stanford and the National Center for O*NET Development.

In the last year, AI models have rapidly improved on public benchmarks measuring their ability to carry out research tasks autonomously. Such performance suggests that models may be capable of automating parts of the AI R&D process itself, thereby accelerating the pace of AI progress.

Health care is moving toward analytic systems that take large databases and estimate varying quantities of interest both quickly and robustly, incorporating advances from statistics, econometrics, and computer science. The massive size of the health care sector make data science applications in this space particularly salient for social policy. This presentation will discuss specific challenges related to developing and deploying statistical machine learning algorithms for health economics and outcomes research. Considerations go beyond typical measures of statistical assessment, and include concepts such as dataset shift and algorithmic fairness. An overarching theme is that developing methodology tailored to specific substantive health problems and the associated electronic health data is critical given the stakes involved.
