Abstract

"The Case for AI Optimism" discusses concerns about the economic effects of generative artificial intelligence (AI) and argues that these concerns are overblown. The author acknowledges that AI will be disruptive but points out that throughout history, workers have adapted to technological changes and emerged better off. The article also highlights the potential benefits of AI, such as increased productivity and the creation of new goods and services. It concludes by stating that the AI revolution has begun and that technological advances do not necessarily lead to widespread unemployment. The text emphasizes the need for policies that support technological progress, encourage workforce participation, and provide a safety net for those affected by AI-related disruptions.
