Google DeepMind researchers alexolegimas, Andrew Koh, and Shane Legg released 'The Economics of Intelligence,' the first in a series on the economics of AGI. It defines economic capability thresholds (e.g., minimal AGI) based on how capabilities transform the economy, and tracks market structure, employment, and wages across capability regimes — noting agent capabilities are scaling exponentially while broader economic effects lag.
