In the next five years, will AI make the average American's life better or worse?

Companies are spending billions on AI. But is it actually making the economy better? And more importantly, will it make the economy better FOR YOU?

Right now, the evidence is weird. Only 1 in 8 CEOs says AI is both increasing revenue & cutting costs. At the same time, 77% of CEOs say AI has been overhyped so far-but may actually be underhyped over the next decade.

So what happens next? A productivity boom that creates new industries & better jobs? Or enormous investment, displaced workers, & technology that never delivers enough value to justify the hype?

Daniel Di Martino, an economist & Fellow at the Manhattan Institute, studies economic growth, labor markets, & the policies that drive American competitiveness.

Dr. Cecilia Dones is a Columbia lecturer & longtime data & AI executive who works with organizations trying to turn massive AI investments into actual business value.

Luke Strathmann, our opener, runs the funniest (and only) Economics comedy show in NYC.

Let's get into it.

UNMUTED is the place where talking points go to die.
