Economic Growth Under Transformative AI: scenarios by task substitutability
luke_drago_ · x · 2026-09-23
The author re-recommends "Economic Growth Under Transformative AI" by Pavitra Rammell and Anton Korinek as the top AI-econ reading: it explains economics to an AI-focused audience and walks through multiple growth scenarios based on which tasks AI might substitute for, and to what degree (sections 2 and 7 mandatory).
Also referenced: Ben Buchanan's "The AI Triad", still the go-to intro on the algorithms-data-compute inputs to AI progress.
