Part 11/15:

Addressing the impact on Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Trouy opines that economic growth will likely be steady but not explosive, citing historical trends from the past 60 years. The overall economy experiences steady growth punctuated by recessions; AI's contribution might reverse a slight downward trend but isn’t expected to cause a sudden, exponential surge.

He warns that the current dissonance between technological potential and policy response could result in societal strain. The divide between the “haves” and “have-nots,” both within and between nations, could deepen, sparking civil unrest. Nonetheless, Trouy remains optimistic that, with appropriate policies—such as international aid, safety nets, and technological dissemination—developing economies can harness AI’s benefits.
