About this episode

Christian Catalini discusses the unexpected economics of AGI and its implications for value and innovation.

Christian Catalini, tech founder, co-creator of Meta's Libra, and founder of Lightspark, joins Beyond the Prompt to explore the unexpected economics of AGI. Drawing on his recent paper, he argues that as AI makes intelligence increasingly abundant, value shifts to what can't easily be automated, measured, or verified. The conversation explores what becomes scarce when intelligence is cheap, why the doomers may be wrong, and how AI could unlock entirely new waves of scientific discovery and innovation.
