Microsoft publishes Nobel economist's bearish AI forecast of just 1.5% GDP growth over a decade
Microsoft published Daron Acemoglu's forecast that AI adds about 1.5% GDP over ten years.
Microsoft published an essay by Nobel economist Daron Acemoglu forecasting modest economic gains from AI. He estimates about 1.5 percent additional GDP over ten years and at most five percent of jobs replaced, well below some lab forecasts. He argues companies must reassign tasks, upskill workers, and deploy practical applications before productivity appears, and that skill-extending AI will outperform full automation. The piece appeared in Microsoft's Humanist Review of AI.
