To say that Whistler’s first downhill World Cup didn’t go as many of us expected it to is an understatment. And for the many who hit the dirt (or tree, or rocks, or roots) over the weekend it’s fair to say that wasn’t in their plan either. But Whistler did deliver excitement. Huge crowds. Incredible racing. Canadians near the front. A controversial DSQ. And crashes.

The nonprofit sector is all a-twitter about the coming “third wave” of AI-fueled philanthropy, inspired by an article from Nan Ransohoff. The debates range from “this is the biggest thing ever to hit philanthropy,” to “it will just be business as normal” (giving away ~1%) or “it will be a bust.” I was just reading a summary of all of the debates, thanks to Nick Martin of TechChange, and I was inspired to test out these options.
Much of the debate about new technologies and the future of work starts with potential exposure. Which occupations can AI transform? Which jobs are most at risk? These are important questions. Recent ILO estimates suggest that one in four workers worldwide is in an occupation with some exposure to generative AI. But exposure is not the same as job loss. Because most occupations still contain tasks requiring human input, transformation rather than replacement is considered the more likely outcome (Gmyrek et al., 2025). This raises another question. If exposure tells us where technology could affect jobs, what determines whether that change translates into more or fewer employment opportunities? Our research at the ILO indicates that skills are part of the answer. The same exposure, different outcomesUsing ILO Harmonized Microdata for more than 1,000 subnational areas across 69 countries, we examine how employment changes in areas with different levels of potential exposure to 40 emerging digital technologies (Delaporte et al., forthcoming).
