Quick takeaways

  • The upcoming US presidential election will be influenced by the state of the economy, with President Biden facing the challenge of making voters recognize the positive economic trends amidst proposals of disruptive policies from former President Trump.
  • Generative artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to enhance accessibility and reduce prices, but its impact on labor markets, distribution, and societal choices requires careful consideration and regulation.

Deep dives

Economy plays a role in the election

As 2024 approaches, the state of the economy is an essential factor in the upcoming US presidential election. Currently, the economy is showing promising signs with a growth rate of around 4%, the lowest unemployment rate in decades, and declining inflation. President Biden's challenge lies in making voters recognize these positive economic trends. However, former President Trump proposes aggressive policies, such as tariff increases, mass deportations, and tax cuts, which could disrupt the economy and potentially lead to inflation and rising unemployment.
