Innovation and Entrepreneurship (I&E)

Assisting Olympic athletes in enhancing their performance, step by step.

MIT startup Striv has developed tactile sensing technology that inserts into shoes, effectively tracking force, movement, and form via algorithms that interpret tactile data. The developer, Axl Chen, initially applied his work in a virtual reality gaming context but pivoted to athletics, and several professional athletes, including US marathoner Clayton Young and Olympian Damar Forbes,…

Is technology beneficial or detrimental to job opportunities?

New research by MIT economist David Autor finds that since 1980, technology has replaced more U.S. jobs than it has created. It is a shift Autor attributes to an increased rate of automation and a slower rate of augmentation. Augmentation represents scenarios where technology drives the creation of new tasks, ultimately generating new job roles.…

Extensive analysis of U.S. census information has revealed that much of the employment is in new roles.

A new study led by MIT economist David Autor reveals that most work in the U.S. today is new work, with a majority of jobs being in occupations that have only emerged widely since 1940. The study found that about six out of ten jobs people are doing currently did not exist in 1940, which…

Extensive examination of U.S. census data reveals that the majority of labor involves fresh tasks.

New research from MIT suggests that approximately 60% of current jobs did not exist in 1940. Led by MIT economist David Autor, the study examined new job creation in the US from 1940 to 2018. The researchers found that many new jobs were created by technological advancements, although some originated from consumer demand, such as…

Does technology aid in boosting job opportunities or does it harm them?

A detailed study by MIT economist David Autor and research team suggests that although new technology innovations have created new jobs since 1940, they have also replaced more jobs than created, particularly since 1980s. The study analyzed tens of thousands of U.S. census job categories in combination with an examination of the text of U.S.…

The comprehensive analysis of U.S. census data highlights that the majority of employment opportunities are newly created.

New research led by David Autor, Ford Professor of Economics at MIT, suggests that the jobs landscape in the US has been largely shaped by the emergence of occupations that did not necessarily exist pre-1940. The study, which covers employment developments between 1940 to 2018, showed that about six of every 10 jobs in existence…

Is technology beneficial or detrimental to employment?

An innovative research paper on job creation in the U.S. since 1940 shows that technology, particularly since 1980, has replaced more jobs than it has generated. The study was led by MIT economist David Autor, Ford Professor of Economics. Entitled “New Frontiers: The Origins and Content of New Work, 1940-2018,” the paper marks a significant…
