NOTE

Productivity Fuels Economic Growth

The transformative potential of technology lies not in its novelty but in its ability to enhance productivity, which directly impacts GDP. Higher productivity translates into greater value creation; for instance, a mere 5% improvement in US GDP, currently around 30 trillion, represents about 1.5 trillion in economic value. The key question revolves around whether innovations, particularly AI, can achieve significant productivity gains comparable to those realized through the internet. Companies must commit resources to stay competitive, as the lack of investment can lead to decline, as exemplified by the contrasting strategies of Google and Yahoo. While short-term skepticism may overshadow long-term ROI, historical trends demonstrate the value of strategic spending in technology.
