Technologies such as electricity, semiconductors, and the internet have been transformative, reshaping economic activity and dramatically increasing living standards throughout the world. In some sense, artificial intelligence is simply the latest of these general purpose technologies. However, the case can certainly be made that this time is different. Automating intelligence itself arguably has broader effects than electricity or semiconductors. What if machines -- A.I. for cognitive tasks and A.I. plus advanced robots for physical tasks -- can perform every task a human can but more cheaply? What does economics have to say about this possibility, and what might our economic future look like? Professor Charles "Chad" Jones explores the transformative impact of artificial intelligence on our economic future. Recorded during GSB Spring Reunions, May 1, 2026.
