GDP ill-suited for the age of AI, Sam Altman tells Vinod Khosla
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman believes GDP is an incorrect metric for measuring quality of life as he feels AI will have a deflationary impact on growth across economies.
“I think GDP is going to be a terrible metric because AI is so deflationary. What we want to measure and I think what GDP is meant to approximate is quality of life,” Altman said.
Speaking during a fireside chat at IIT Delhi with Khosla Ventures’ founder Vinod Khosla, Altman said this obsolescence of usual economic metrics is proof of AI changing the global order.
