While the rapid development of AI technology promises unprecedented productivity gains and innovations, concerns of job displacement and increasing inequality persist. How can we ensure AI complements human labor rather than replacing it? What measures can we take to prevent a dystopian AI future?
Erik Brynjolfsson is a professor at Stanford University and has pioneered research on the economics of information technology and AI. In this episode, Erik discusses the potential for AI to enhance job productivity, complement our workforce, and boost economic growth at scales comparable to the Industrial Revolution while also exploring potential negative futures and strategies to avoid them.
