• Abstract: Large Language Model (LLM) based generative AI, such as ChatGPT, is considered the first generation of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), exhibiting zero-shot learning abilities for a wide variety of downstream tasks. Due to its general-purpose and emergent nature, its impact on labor dynamics becomes complex and difficult to anticipate. Leveraging an extensive dataset from a prominent online labor market, we uncover a post-ChatGPT decline in labor demand, supply, and transactions for submarkets pertaining to text-related and programming-related jobs, in comparison to those not directly exposed to ChatGPT's core functionalities. Meanwhile, these affected submarkets exhibit a discernible increase in the complexity of the remaining jobs and a heightened level of competition among freelancers. Intriguingly, our findings indicate that the diminution in the labor supply pertaining to programming is comparatively less pronounced, a phenomenon ascribed to the transition of freelancers previously engaged in text-related tasks now bidding for programming-related opportunities. Although the per-period job diversity freelancers apply for tends to be more limited, those who successfully navigate skill transitions from text to programming demonstrate greater resilience to ChatGPT's overall market contraction impact. As AI becomes increasingly versatile and potent, our paper offers crucial insights into AI's influence on labor markets and individuals' reactions, underscoring the necessity for proactive interventions to address the challenges and opportunities presented by this transformative technology.

  Existing measures of AI occupational exposure focus on AI's theoretical potential to substitute or complement human labour on the basis of technical feasibility. We introduce the AI Startup Exposure (AISE) index-a novel metric based on occupational descriptions from O*NET and AI applications developed by startups. Our findings suggest that AI adoption will be gradual and shaped by social factors as much as by the technical feasibility of AI applications.

  Key limitation of learned robot control policies is their inability to generalize outside their training data. Recent works on vision-language-action models (VLAs) have shown that the use of large, internet pre-trained vision-language models can substantially improve their robustness and generalization ability. We introduce Embodied Chain-of-Thought Reasoning (ECoT) for VLAs, in which we train VLAs to perform multiple steps of reasoning about plans, sub-tasks, motions, and visually grounded features before predicting the robot action.

  This paper proposes a novel approach, Weak Exploration to Strong Exploitation (WESE) to enhance LLM agents in solving open-world interactive tasks. WESE involves decoupling the exploration and exploitation process, employing a cost-effective weak agent to perform exploration tasks for global knowledge. A knowledge graph-based strategy is then introduced to store the acquired knowledge and extract task-relevant knowledge, enhancing the stronger agent in success rate and efficiency for the exploitation task.
