AI overview

Ethan Mollick argued that coordination among AI agents could help transform the economy, while making individual agents smarter would not be enough on its own. Commenting on research he shared, he said coordination is missing from most debates about AI’s economic impact. His argument rests on the idea that organizations are more than the sum of their best performers: economic transformation may depend on agents’ ability to work together, beyond improvements in individual performance.
