About this episode

Edward Ongweso Jr discusses the lack of productivity gains from AI as reported by executives.

“Until it’s clear how AI development can be centred on what workers and the consumers want, there’s no reason to expect the public not to hate AI.” Co-host of This Machine Kills and author of The Tech Bubble newsletter Edward Ongweso Jr joins The Tech Report’s Isaac Pound to talk about the lack of identifiable return on investment from AI as 90% of executives admit they still have not seen any boost to productivity from adopting the technology.
