ARK Invest founder Cathie Wood argues AI could trigger the biggest acceleration in global growth since the Industrial Revolution.
- She cites history: global real GDP growth was 0.6% before the Industrial Revolution, then climbed roughly 5x to 3% after.
- She sees today's AI revolution as a similarly transformative moment, potentially doubling growth to 6%, with 10%-15% as an upside scenario.
The remarks come from a video on the ARK Invest YouTube channel.
