> The economic and social impact of Artificial Intelligence
April 2024
Philippe Aghion, an economist specialising in the economics of innovation and growth, Professor at the Collège de France, INSEAD and the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), shared his expertise. He also co-chairs the Commission on Artificial Intelligence, which recently submitted a report to the French President.
He discussed the economic and social impacts of Artificial Intelligence (AI), in particular its effects on employment, productivity and inequality. This presentation provided a better understanding of the challenges and opportunities that AI presents for our society and our economy. In particular, it is essential to ‘de-demonise AI, without idealising it’.
