A Google DeepMind researcher announces a research program on the economics of AGI with Andrew Koh and Shane Legg, releasing The Economics of Intelligence as its first output. The framework defines economic capability thresholds (like minimal AGI) and tracks how market structure, employment, and wages shift as AI crosses them. Commentary highlights that wages may move earlier than headcount or firm structure as an indicator of AI's impact on jobs.
