This talk explores the potential trajectories of artificial intelligence development and its economic implications. We will discuss three scenarios ranging from business-as-usual to the emergence of artificial general intelligence (AGI) within 5-20 years. The presentation will examine how these scenarios could impact economic growth, wages, and labor markets. We’ll also consider the importance of adaptive policy frameworks and scenario planning to navigate the uncertainties surrounding AI advancement and its societal effects.

The Macroeconomic Risk Chair aims to promote the development and dissemination of research into a number of areas linked to the issue of macroeconomic risk, including: the consideration of the possibility of fat tail events in macroeconomic and financial modelling, the macroeconomic effects of uncertainty, the financial and macroeconomic contagion effects of crises, and the long-term risks: secular stagnation, whether the liquidity trap will persist, and unconventional monetary policy regimes.
