Is Artificial Intelligence a more significant invention than electricity? Will it result in explosive economic growth and unimaginable wealth for all, or will it cause the extinction of all humans? Artificial Intelligence: Economic Perspectives and Models provides a sober analysis of these questions from an economics perspective. It argues that to better understand the impact of AI on economic outcomes, we must fundamentally change the way we think about AI in relation to models of economic growth. It describes the progress that has been made so far and offers two ways in which current modelling can be improved: firstly, to incorporate the nature of AI as providing abilities that complement and/or substitute for labour, and secondly, to consider demand-side constraints. Outlining the decision-theory basis of both AI and economics, this book shows how this, and the incorporation of AI into economic models, can provide useful tools for safe, human-centered AI.

'Could AI be a game changer for economics and the economy? This is the main question that this book examines in depth. The authors have managed to keep the language accessible to various audiences without forgetting technical rigor. The analysis of AI, from both the consumer and producer sides, points out possible ways for humanity to take advantage of the new opportunities opened up by this new technology while avoiding its risks.' Tiago Neves Sequeira, Professor of Economics, University of Coimbra
