==========
MIT economist Daron Acemoglu forecasts a 0.7% boost to US total factor productivity and 1.1% GDP growth over the next decades; Goldman Sachs predicts a 7% global GDP increase and 1.5% annual US productivity growth over 10 years; Acemoglu estimates AI will automate 5% of work tasks, while Goldman projects 25%; Lawrence Summers critiques Acemoglu's analysis for not considering rapid scientific progress; AI is seen as a powerful general-purpose technology that could revolutionize human welfare, potentially extending lifespan and improving mental health treatment.
