Bain: AI to create, shift or erase $4.7 trillion in global profits between 2025 and 2035

A Bain & Co report estimates AI will create, shift, or destroy $4.7 trillion in global profits between 2025 and 2035 — versus $1.4 trillion the internet moved over twenty years. The internet structurally transformed 41% of industries; AI will transform 71%. The core thesis: the internet was a distribution technology that collapsed the cost of reaching customers, while AI is a production technology that collapses the cost of producing the product itself. The post also cites Elon Musk's prediction that AI could roughly double US GDP growth next year from 2% to 4% or more. The fight now is over who owns production, not whether AI works.
