At the #GlobalEcon debate, Daron Acemoglu said that to get the most out of AI we should use it to enhance human productivity rather than replace it. Watch the full debate here. meetings.imf.org/en/2024/Spring…

The economic concept of creative destruction has evolved in dangerous ways when it comes to #AI , making us less prepared for the pain of disruption, writes Daron Acemoglu. diplomaticourier.com/posts/ready-fo…
