Tyler Cowen:
'I am not even sure what to say at this point. We need a radical revaluation of this work, and of the associated policy arguments. More generally, this is only a single step in the story of how AI is going to revise economic science, and indeed past research more generally. As I stress in many of my recent talks, there will be significant gains and losses in status, with the losses often outweighing the gains. I see this as one of those cases.'
Cowen says AI will force a revaluation of economic research and its policy arguments
AITyler Cowen says he is not sure what to say and calls for a radical revaluation of the work and policy arguments tied to Emmanuel Saez and Gabriel Zucman, citing errors flagged on Marginal Revolution. He argues AI will revise economic science and past research more broadly, with significant gains and losses in status, often outweighing the gains.
