The author suggests conducting experiments where humans, either alone or augmented with current AI, perform economically valuable tasks. These studies aim to quantify productivity gains and provide data for forecasting AI timelines, though challenges include obtaining baseline data and selecting tasks that remain relevant as AI capabilities evolve.
