Should we be spending literally trillions on a speculative bet when we can’t even solidly document clear positive impact? Great analysis of what we don’t yet know below, by @bencasselman drawing on a new report by @ngoldschlag. Is A.I. creating jobs or killing them? Adding to inflation or fixing it? Boosting productivity or doing little? Nobody knows. And our data (public & private) isn't providing clear answers. My latest is on the A.I. data gap and the challenge it poses for policymakers.
