| 2026/02/27 - 2026/02/27 | Language technologies are increasingly shaping how we communicate and access information across languages. Yet these systems
can reflect social and cultural biases. As public-facing large language models become more widespread, these issues reach
an ever-broader set of users and everyday contexts. In this talk, I will share past and ongoing work on automatic translation
and large language models, exploring how (gender) bias and other risks emerge and how to address them to enhance inclusivity.

Beatrice Savoldi: "Towards Inclusive and Human-Centered Multilingual Language Technologies"
Instituto de Engenharia de Sistemas e Computadores Investigação e Desenvolvimento em Lisboa, Portugal
|
| 2026/02/24 - 2026/02/24 | Right now, the technological challenge we are most likely to face in the labour market is ‘frictional’ technological unemployment
– where there is plenty of work available, but not enough people are able to do it. This lecture explores the phenomenon and
its main causes – that people might lack the right skills for the work, not live in the place where the work is created, or
have an identity that is at odds with the nature of the work.

Gresham College, Reino Unido
|
| 2026/01/13 - 2026/01/13 | ChatGPT, the AI chatbot developed by OpenAI, was the fastest growing app in history. But this achievement, as sudden and remarkable
as it might seem, was simply the most recent chapter in a fascinating story that has been unfolding for almost seven decades.
This lecture explores the full history of the relationship between AI and work, and how economists have tried to make sense
of it.

| 2025/10/27 - 2025/10/27 | Why has automation anxiety – the fear that new technologies cause mass unemployment – proven wrong over the centuries? This
lecture explores how technology affects the labour market. While new technologies can substitute for workers, reducing demand
for their efforts at certain activities, they can also complement them, increasing demand for them to do activities that haven’t
been automated. Historically, people have focused on the former, harmful force and underestimated – or ignored – the latter
helpful force.

|
| 2025/09/09 - 2025/09/09 | Ever since modern economic growth began three centuries ago, people have suffered from periodic bursts of anxiety about the
technologies of the time taking on the work that they do. This opening lecture explores the history of ‘automation anxiety’
– from the Luddites who smashed framing machines at the start of the Industrial Revolution in Britain to the protestors who
set driverless cars on fire on the streets of San Francisco today. Time and again, their main worry – that there would not
be enough work for people to do – turned out to be wrong.
