Last week, I shared a video from Anthropic’s CEO discussing the potential dangers of AI. This week, I’d like to offer a counterpoint—an insightful perspective from Nobel Laureate economist Daron Acemoglu.
Acemoglu suggests that AI's impact may be more limited than widely assumed, potentially automating just 5% of tasks and adding around 1% to global GDP in the next decade. He emphasizes that human judgment remains essential and urges leaders to focus on innovation rather than cost-cutting.

Now, I should go back to finishing my papers. Prof. Acemoglu must have published two papers by the time I finished writing this.
