Roubini Predicts 10% Growth by 2050, AI Job Displacement
'Dr. Doom' Nouriel Roubini predicts 10% economic growth by 2050—but says AI will replace many jobs · livemint.com

Nouriel Roubini, a famous economist who predicted the 2008 financial crisis, thinks that artificial intelligence (AI) will change the world a lot.

He says AI will make machines do many jobs that people do now, which could cause problems for things like Social Security.

Roubini believes that because of AI, the economy will grow very fast, maybe 10% every year by 2050.

He thinks governments will need to give people money, like a universal basic income, to help them.

He also says that big tech companies might have to share their money with the government so everyone can benefit from AI.

Roubini is actually very hopeful about this future, even though some people might worry about it.

Turkish-American economist known as 'Dr. Doom'

““A large chunk of the population is going to be replaced by AI and robots in the next 20 to 25 years. Eventually, we need some form of universal basic income for everybody while they work and once they retire. We’re already on the way.””

““We’ll either have an ex-post distribution, that is universal basic income, or we’ll have it ex-ante. Ex-ante means some form of socialism.””
