LSE’s new Global Forum work could shape what help (or pressure) shows up when AI starts cutting into real jobs—because governments are about to have better numbers to point at. At the LSE 2026 Global Forum on AI and the Social Sciences, 15 organizations announced new funded projects, datasets, and tracking tools for AI’s impact on work. Highlights include Google.org’s $1.5M for LSE work on AI and labor, an IMF-backed AI Economy Data Hub, and a Global AI Adoption Index meant to quantify disruption across countries. We break down what these new “AI + work” measurements might influence first—and what to watch as the data goes public. New AI news every weekday — subscribe so you don't miss tomorrow's story.
