Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) is an umbrella term for technologies which complete “human-like” tasks. This Science and Technology Note considers opportunities and challenges associated with the potential economic impacts of AI on West Virginia’s economic development and workforce. Generative AI (gen-AI) is a newer class of AI algorithms that can generate highly non-trivial content (text, videos, images, computer code, etc.) in response to user requests. Advances in generative AI’s capabilities could contribute to significant economic development and disruption, both through specific organizational applications and enhanced labor productivity.
