Nobel Laureates & AI Leaders Warn: Preparation Window Closing
The Decoder · rss · 2026-07-14
A joint statement signed by over 200 individuals, including 16 Nobel laureates, economists, and AI researchers from Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic, warns that society is rapidly running out of time to prepare for AI's economic impact. They suggest AI could spark transformations surpassing the Industrial Revolution at a much faster pace. However, the statement lacks specific countermeasures, and current research has yet to show a significant AI impact on the labor market.
