AI is an extraordinary technology. But will it change our lives?
Nobel Prize winner Daron Acemoglu says we need to ask what AI can realistically transform over the next five to 10 years—and whether we’re developing it in a direction that benefits businesses, workers, and society.
In this clip, Daron breaks down the economic promise of AI alongside its risks, from misinformation and alienation to lost wages and economic costs. A credible case for AI, he argues, must account for both.
Daron is a 2024 Nobel laureate in economics and bestselling coauthor of Why Nations Fail. His new book, What Happened to Liberal Democracy?, is out August 11. This Lavin Exclusive Speaker offers a clear-eyed, hopeful vision for steering technology, economics, and democracy toward shared prosperity.
