AIP Artificial Intelligence: Growth, Inequalities and Public Policies

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming economies, but its effects are still uncertain, and the subject of a vivid debate. Will AI drive innovation, productivity, and economic growth? Or will it lead to job losses, rising income inequality, and more concentrated markets? Public policy will play a key role in shaping AI’s impacts. Governments face however a major challenge: how can policies maximize the benefits of AI while minimizing its societal risks? Should they focus on boosting economic growth or reducing inequalities and risks? Striking the right balance is crucial, but we still lack clear answers on how to do this effectively. The AIP project will investigate economic effects of AI and seek to contribute to the design of evidence-based policies.
