Bouke Klein Teeselink
Lecturer in Economics, King’s College London
Bouke Klein Teeselink is a Lecturer in Economics in the Department of Political Economy at King’s College London. He is also affiliated with the King’s Institute for Artificial Intelligence, and the AI Objectives Institute.
His research is on the Economics of AI. He examines how generative AI is transforming labour markets around the world, answering questions about how AI is reshaping the job prospects of early-career workers, which jobs and occupations win and lose, how the nature and difficulty of work is changing, and how the supply and demand for skills is shifting as a consequence of AI.
He uses large data sets from online job boards, LinkedIn profiles, charitable donations, medication purchases, and tax records to study topics such as automation, identity, and consumer decision making.
