How is artificial intelligence impacting economies, political environments, financial markets and misinformation? What are the policy challenges and how can governments work to counter them?
Julian Jacobs, senior economist at OMFIF, interviews Darrell West, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, about the promises and perils that may emerge as countries embrace AI. They discuss the implications of AI on economic inequality, productivity growth, central banking, financial stability and misinformation amid the rise of large language models.
