AI is reshaping how we work. This makes some people more productive - but exposes others to job and income loss. I explore how this affects people's political attitudes and preferences using data from the @ess-survey.bsky.social and indicators of AI exposure & complementarity.

“American universities did not cause the onslaught that the second Trump administration is unleashing upon them,” Nicholas B. Dirks writes. But they'd “be in a much stronger position today if they had made a proactive case to the public for their own importance.”

American higher education would be in a much stronger position today if it had made a proactive case to the public for its own importance—and taken steps to address its very real shortcomings.
