This report from the World Economic Forum explores how continued progress in artificial intelligence (AI) could have disruptive effects: from further exacerbating recent trends in inequality to denying more and more people their sense of purpose and fulfilment in life, given that work is much more than just a source of income. Drawing on insights from workshops and interviews with more than 150 thought leaders from a variety of fields, the report summarises their thinking on the positive AI economic futures that we should want to build in a world of increasingly capable technologies - and the challenges that will have to be confronted to achieve it.
