✍️ The article discusses the potential risks and consequences of artificial intelligence (AI) on the global economy, focusing on the possibility of AI-induced stagnation and the erosion of the foundations of the Global North's economies.
👉 AI could lead to the automation of service industries, causing job destruction and a surge in productivity 👉 The rise of overcapacity in services could lead to a persistent tendency toward excess capacity, reducing profit margins and tempering the appetite for investment 👉 Rentierism, a central aspect of the economies of the Global North, could be eroded by AI, leading to the destruction of a primary site of capitalist investment and millions of jobs
