GENEVA (AN) — Days after governments, technology companies and international organizations gathered in Geneva to debate the future of artificial intelligence, a coalition of nearly 200 economists, researchers and technology leaders issued an unusual warning: institutions may not be prepared for the economic disruption AI could bring.
The statement, released on Monday under the title We Must Act Now, argues that artificial intelligence could become dramatically more powerful over the next decade, potentially driving economic changes larger than the Industrial Revolution but unfolding over a much shorter period.
