  "textContent": "WASHINGTON, Feb 27, 2026 – Disruptions to work from AI are coming, and the United States is not on a path to prevent the worst impacts, according to a panel of MIT professors and researchers.\n\nAt an event hosted by the Brookings Institution and The Hamilton Project on Tuesday, **Daron Acemoglu, David Autor,** and**Simon Johnson** spoke about research paper “Building Pro-Worker AI,” which outlines a conceptual framework for an AI that supports and increases the need for human expertise, instead of creating tools that displace workers. In 2024, Acemoglu and Johnson won a Nobel Prize in Economic Science.\n\n“52 percent of American workers are worried about AI…42% of those who are currently using AI think it will lead to job loss, ” Acemoglu said. “Americans are right to be worried because AI is presented as the greatest automation technology of all time, Artificial General Intelligence being the apogee of this vision.”\n\n### This post is for subscribers only\n\nBecome a member to get access to all content\n\nSubscribe now",
