Draghi: AI-driven productivity can help stabilize US debt if deficits are curbed
AI summary
Former European Central Bank president Mario Draghi said the United States would not need to make an extraordinary effort to stabilize its debt if its politicians can agree on cutting the deficit. He said keeping the debt-to-GDP ratio at around 100% a decade from now requires only a modest productivity increase, with artificial intelligence driving expansion in the world's largest economy. Everything looks feasible, he added, on one condition: the US fiscal deficit must not keep widening. (Via 36Kr, citing Sina Finance)
