Скачать или смотреть Reshaping Power, Wealth & Democracy through AI – Daron Acemoglu & Joachim Voth

What happens when a Nobel laureate and a leading economic historian come together to discuss the forces shaping our world? In this episode of Thought Supply, ‪@NobelPrize‬ Laureate Daron Acemoglu joins Joachim Voth to discuss the far-reaching consequences of AI, automation, and political institutions on economic progress.

Acemoglu shares his intellectual journey—from witnessing political upheaval in Turkey to becoming one of the most influential voices on political economy. The conversation unpacks key themes from his latest research, including the transformative impact of AI, the race between automation and new tasks, and the often-overlooked social consequences of technological progress.

Can AI enhance human productivity rather than replace it? Is technological change inevitable, or do economic and political forces shape its direction? And as power concentrates in the hands of a few firms, how can democracy survive in the age of AI-driven economies?

Join this thought-provoking discussion to explore how technology, institutions, and political choices influence economic growth and social well-being.
