🧠 Big Insight: How AI will unlock the next tier of economic growth

“America’s economy, like many in the world, has wallowed in an era of relative stagnation that began after the 2008 recession—and that stagnation is a large part of the reason why for the first time in modern history nearly half of Americans don’t earn more than their parents. We will face global climate, demographic, healthcare, and poverty challenges that would all be made much easier to solve if AI truly did bump us into the next tier of economic growth in the way its proponents hope. So even if I don’t buy all the hype I’m still rooting for the robots—a world where AI truly is truly a disruptive and revolutionary economic technology is one that is good for workers and good for people.“

“Even in a situation where humans are less productive per hour worked than machines across all tasks, it increases economic output for humans and machines to specialise in the areas they are relatively most productive in and “trade” for the same reason it makes sense for countries or people who are less productive across the board to still work and trade with those who have an absolute advantage. This principle extends to plenty of cognitive tasks as well—indeed, computers can already perform math, long-distance communication, content recommendation, data processing, information storage, reading, searching, and a wide range of other tasks all faster and better than any human ever could—and that has not caused a rise in unemployment.“

Joseph Politano lays down the argument for why AI and automation may be good for the global economy in the long run.
