Nikita Roketskiy of Cornerstone Research will join leading academics and industry experts to explore how artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the economics profession at this event in London.
As large language models (LLMs) move from experimental tools to routine components of professional work, they are shaping how economic analysis is produced, altering traditional entry-level roles and career trajectories in the finance, consulting, and policy sectors.
Dr Roketskiy will participate in a roundtable focused on the challenges and opportunities of adapting economics teaching and curricula to keep pace with changes in professional practice.
Discussion topics will include:
- The impact of generative AI (GenAI) on entry-level roles and routine analytical tasks
- The importance of human judgement and verification in an increasingly tech-driven field
- How universities and employers can evolve economics curricula and training to better support early-career development
This event is hosted by the University College London (UCL) Department of Economics.
