Mark Muro

Mark Muro is a Senior Fellow at Brookings Metro, focusing on the interplay of technology, people, and place as they are altered by positive and negative disruptions.

 Mark’s work this year has focused on the nature and geography of artificial intelligence, including with this summer’s major report, “Mapping the AI economy: Which regions are ready for the next technology leap.” Earlier this year he led the Brookings report, “The geography of generative AI’s workplace impacts will likely differ from those of previous technologies.” And prior to that he released, with Molly Kinder and Xav Briggs, Generative AI, the American worker, and the future of work | Brookings

 More broadly, Muro’s recent work has advanced what Muro calls “place-based industrial strategy,” including through the government’s Regional Tech Hubs initiative. This work has drawn on Muro’s work on regional “growth centers,” a strategy by which the nation seeks to unlock innovation and growth in new places across America. Muro’s work on these issues looks closely at the interplay of federal strategy and state and regional delivery.

 Finally, beyond his national work, Muro’s work with states most recently entailed a reform agenda for Pennsylvania innovation policy.
