Warren Buffett says one question posed by AI has stumped economists for a century

At the recent Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting, Warren Buffett discussed the profound implications of artificial intelligence, likening its emergence to the release of a "genie" with potential unintended consequences similar to nuclear weapons. He highlighted an enduring question that has puzzled economists for a century: the impact of AI on human work and leisure. Despite his general avoidance of technology investments, AI's significant influence on productivity and economic theories, such as those proposed by John Maynard Keynes, was a key topic of conversation.
