BUG - Q&A With Erik Brynjolfsson On Disruptive Technology And The Digital Economy

• Artificial intelligence is the most general of all general-purpose technologies because we use our intelligence to solve all the other problems in the world.
• If we can crack artificial intelligence, that would be the biggest change ever – bigger than electricity, bigger than the steam engine.
• One of the great ironies of the digital age is that we have more information about the economy than ever before, but our economic measures are actually missing more and more of the value creation.
• We’re going to have to reinvent the way we measure the economy, just like the way we reinvent the way we produce goods and services.
• We want to introduce GDP-B, where the “B” stands for benefits. Then, we can see not just how much money we’re spending, but how much value we’re getting.
