Where the Economy Thrives After AI
About this episode
The episode discusses how AI may shift economic value towards areas where human involvement is crucial, rather than eliminating jobs.
A new economic argument suggests AI won’t simply wipe out work, but will shift value toward the parts of the economy where human presence, provenance, care, taste, and relationship matter most. NLW explores Alex Imas' case for a post-commodity economy, why automation may make relational work more valuable, and how the AI jobs debate is missing the question of what new demand gets unlocked when supply becomes abundant.
