An UNMUTED Debate: The AI-ndustrial Revolution?

​In the next five years, will AI make the average American's life better or worse?

​Companies are spending billions on AI. But is it actually making the economy better? And more importantly, will it make the economy better FOR YOU?

​Right now, the evidence is weird. Only 1 in 8 CEOs says AI is both increasing revenue and cutting costs. At the same time, 77% of CEOs say AI has been overhyped so far-but may actually be underhyped over the next decade.

​So what happens next? A productivity boom that creates new industries and better jobs? Or enormous investment, displaced workers, and technology that never delivers enough value to justify the hype?

​Daniel Di Martino, an economist and Fellow at the Manhattan Institute, studies economic growth, labor markets, and the policies that drive American competitiveness.

​Dr. Cecilia Dones is a Columbia lecturer and longtime data and AI executive who works with organizations trying to turn massive AI investments into actual business value.

​Luke Strathmann, our opener, runs the funniest (and only) Economics comedy show in NYC.

​Let’s get into it.

​UNMUTED is the place where talking points go to die.
