McKinsey Report: Generative AI Could Add $2.6 trillion to $4.4 trillion to the Global Economy Each Year Over the Next Few Years
McKinsey predicts that generative AI could increase global productivity by $2.6 trillion to $4.4 trillion annually over the next few years. Generative AI has the potential to automate high-income knowledge jobs, such as sales, marketing, and software development, on a large scale. AI automation is expected to initially take hold in wealthy countries, exacerbating the gap with countries like India that adopt it more slowly. Caution should be exercised regarding the potential impact of the rapid proliferation of AI technology on employment, taking into account risks such as algorithmic bias and data security.
