More than 200 economists and AI researchers, including 16 Nobel laureates in economics, issued a statement on the 13th urging preparations for the economic transformation brought about by artificial intelligence. The statement points out that AI capabilities could advance dramatically over the next decade, potentially triggering an economic transformation on a scale surpassing the Industrial Revolution in a short period, and recommends that policymakers establish safeguards and institutions to address risks such as large-scale job losses. Signatories include former Federal Reserve Chair Ben Bernanke and Columbia University Professor Joseph Stiglitz.
