Researchers used artificial intelligence to analyze the historical impact of technology on work, identifying replaced, improved and beneficiary jobs. The study also predicts future impacts of AI on employment, generating debates on possible replacements and their political implications.
With the arrival of generative artificial intelligence (genAI), its potential impact on productivity is significant, although uncertain. GenAI, with characteristics of general-purpose technologies (GPT) and methods of invention, could raise productivity durably in the long run.
Donald Trump, the president, promises to reindustrialize the U.S. with tariffs, low taxes, and fewer regulations. Joe Biden and Barack Obama also worked on this. Brookings measures the results in terms of jobs, production, and deficits, although technology may limit employment growth.
