Measuring AI’s impact on work goes beyond job losses, t’s about how tech reshapes skills & tasks. @estebanmoro.bsky.social and collaborators are building the 𝙊𝙗𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙖𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙮 𝙤𝙛 𝙐𝙎 𝙅𝙤𝙗 𝘿𝙞𝙨𝙧𝙪𝙥𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 to track job skills and predict unemployment risk more accurately. news.northeastern.edu/2025/09/17/n...

Maps, roads, and skylines don’t tell the whole story of our cities. Invisible barriers + hidden connections shape urban life in ways we rarely see. I’ll dig into this at my ACM SIGSPATIAL keynote “Cities Beyond Maps.” See you all! 🚶‍♂️🏙🏢 sigspatial2025.sigspatial.org/keynotes/
