Advisor to the OECD on the Future Impact of Artificial Intelligence on the Education and the Workforce. This work has involved working with a group of approximately 30 world-leading researchers to design scales of system performance to be used to communicate policy makers. The work has spanned 4 years to date and included 3 in-person 2 day meetings at the OECD headquarters in Paris, in addition to approximately 20 online meetings, writing a book chapter for the OECD, designing a rubric and scale to lead other AI areas outiside of NLP, and several presentations to this group. 2020-present
