AAAE Hybrid (virtual): AI and the Modern Productivity Paradox
In 1987, Robert Solow famously observed that “you can see the computer age everywhere but in the productivity statistics.” A decade later, productivity growth in the United States accelerated markedly as ICT producing and ICT using industries diffused throughout the economy. This presentation examines whether early evidence suggests that artificial intelligence (AI) may follow a similar general purpose, productivity enhancing trajectory.
