Paper: Post-AGI economy could decouple GDP from human welfare

A new paper proposes a model for a post-AGI economy where corporations own AI and robotic agents that act as both producers and consumers. This inter-corporate economy could achieve high growth rates independent of human consumption, with the binding constraint shifting from human demography to fabrication throughput and energy capture. The paper suggests that in such a scenario, human welfare would completely decouple from GDP, making ownership policy the critical factor for human survival rather than employment policy. AI

IMPACT Suggests ownership policy will be paramount in a post-AGI economy, potentially decoupling human welfare from GDP.

RANK_REASON The cluster contains a single academic paper discussing theoretical economic models post-AGI. [lever_c_demoted from research: ic=1 ai=1.0]
