That little market freakout is a real mechanism: if AI makes it cheap to do what a vendor used to sell you, the vendor’s future profits fall—even as the rest of us get more productive.

Notice a ton of commercials pushing AI during last night's Super Bowl?

Here's why these companies are so eager to get you to adopt it in your life (hint: it's a bubble). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wxBHxpMFXA

Two-speed diffusion: Fast take-up, gradual deepening

VoxEU @ CEPR @voxeu.org · 2d

A survey of German firms shows over half of firms currently use generative AI or expect to use it by the end of the year. Firms expect productivity, wages, and demand for high-skilled workers to rise, with little change in low-skill employment.
E Falck & A Nagengast
cepr.org/voxeu/column...
#EconSky

Chart showing firms’ assessments of GenAI’s economic effects. Among adopters (and near-term adopters), productivity expectations are decisively positive. The share of (current or prospective) GenAI users expecting labour productivity to increase by at least 2% rises from 46% (2024) to 51% (2025) and 54% (2026); around one-quarter even expect gains of 5% or more, while only about 4–5% foresee productivity losses.

The novelty and speed of diffusion of generative AI means that evidence on its impact on productivity and the future of work is scarce. This column uses survey data from over 7,000 German firms to help address this gap. Over half of firms surveyed currently use generative AI or expect to use it by the end of the year, up from 26% in 2024. GenAI-related spending is expected to rise markedly from 2024 to 2026, but spending forecasts point to diminishing returns once easily scalable applications have been implemented. Firms expect productivity, wages, and demand for high-skilled workers to rise, with little change in low-skill employment.
