Predictions of AI delivering double-digit GDP growth in advanced economies called extremely unlikely over next 10-15 years
↗
A Ghosts of Electricity analysis argues that widely discussed forecasts of AI producing double-digit GDP growth in advanced economies are extremely unlikely within the next 10-15 years.
For teams building AI tooling, this challenges the macroeconomic narrative that AI adoption will automatically yield outsized productivity gains. If the economic payoff is more modest than assumed, investment decisions and ROI expectations for AI infrastructure may need recalibration. The argument is carried by a single feed, so it lacks corroboration from other sources.
