On their discussion of AI use and productivity, I was surprised, because I guess I didn't think AI was widely being used 2019-2021, but I'm admittedly always going to be behind technological curves, b/c I'm kind of a luddite.

Interesting things to think about . . .

scholarly productivity without knowing who was and who was not caretaking (also...men could have also been caretaking and caretaking could involve both kids or parents, etc.). I think scholars should be careful of thinking through COVID/caretaking impacts and try to not make generalizations.

When talking about women, they noted there didn't seem to be a COVID/caretaking impact, but I'm not sure how they would know which of the women were in a caretaking posture during COVID. I doubt you would be able to make meaningful analysis on how increased caretaking may have impacted

We’re continuing to refine the piece and would be very happy to share the current draft with anyone who’s interested.

Monitorships look to be becoming disfavored by DOJ (for now), but they are still being used by lots of other enforcement and quasi-enforcement (think World Bank) actors.
