“A.I. and Our Economic Future,” Professor Chad Jones
I found this interesting.
This Stanford Graduate School of Business talk frames artificial intelligence as the next major general-purpose technology, while suggesting that automating intelligence itself could have even broader effects than earlier shifts such as electricity, semiconductors, or the internet.
Professor Charles “Chad” Jones looks at what economics can say if machines can take on cognitive work, and eventually physical work through advanced robotics, more cheaply than humans, and what that could mean for our economic future.
