Let's cut through the hype to understand what's effectively new and disruptive and how technology can augment our capabilities, unlocking productivity and human potential.
This is what researchers and industry thought leaders are saying
AI is a General Purpose Technology
AI's disruptive economics, similar to electricity, will lead to efficiency gains and new markets. The path to widespread adoption and significant productivity gains is fraught with challenges and uncertainties (e.g. data acquisition, feedback loops, and ethical considerations).
Labor Market Impact
AI is already significantly impact the labor market, affecting a wide range of occupations. While AI can create new jobs, it also poses a risk of displacement for workers in roles involving routine and repetitive tasks.
Integrating AI into Workplaces
Successful AI integration requires balancing automation (replacing tasks) and augmentation (enhancing human capabilities). Design tools that empower people to work alongside AI, leveraging its strengths while mitigating its weaknesses.
Skill Enhancement and Job Evolution
While some routine jobs may be automated, the augmentation potential of AI could lead to upskilling and the creation of new, higher-value jobs requiring creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. This may contribute to a more skilled and adaptable workforce.
Prioritize Prediction Capabilities
The core of AI value is its ability to provide superior predictions. Focus on developing robust machine learning models and data pipelines for high-accuracy predictions in specific workplace domains.
Agentic AI
Agentic AI, capable of self-directed task completion, is the key to unlocking the value of generative AI for everyday users. General-purpose agents aren't reliable yet. Focus on specific verticals or end markets.
Key research papers and articles
Erik Brynjolfsson, director of the Stanford Digital Economy Lab, writes of how AI researchers and businesses have focused on building machines to replicate human intelligence. The obsession with mimicking human intelligence has led to AI and automation that too often replace workers rather than extending human capabilities and allowing people to do new tasks.
In essence, what is the disruptive nature of AI? Why has it taken so long for the new AI systems to be widespread? What are the key challenges and success factors for building AI systems?
This article presents a comprehensive and practical guide for practitioners and end-users working with Large
Language Models (LLMs) in their downstream Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks. We provide discussions and insights into the usage of LLMs from the perspectives of models, data, and downstream tasks.
Researches from OpenAI and University of Pennsylvania investigate the potential implications of large language models (LLMs), such as Generative Pre-trained Transformers (GPTs), on the U.S. labor market, focusing on the increased capabilities arising from LLM-powered software compared to LLMs on their own.

Goldman Sachs Research predicted last year that generative AI could boost GDP and raise labor productivity growth over the coming decade. Since publishing that outlook, investment in generative AI has boomed, but it will take time for the technology to filter into the overall economy.
Recently, through the acquisition of vast amounts of Web knowledge, large language models (LLMs) have shown potential in human-level intelligence, leading to a surge in research on LLM-based autonomous agents. This paper presents a systematic review of LLM-based autonomous agents from a holistic perspective.
