Tamay Besiroglu | Why do Economists and AI Experts Disagree About the Future?

Economists expect economic growth to continue at around 2% per year, more or less indefinitely. By contrast, many top AI researchers predict we'll soon have Dyson spheres.

This talk aims to explain the gap, why economists are skeptical, and what evidence might change their minds.
