What kind of economics will there be after AGI? DeepMind are trying to anticipate various scenarios. My advice: put more effort into creating and maintaining a better global economics system *before* AGI is created
AGI is now on the horizon and it will deeply transform many things, including the economy.
I'm currently looking to hire a Senior Economist, reporting directly to me, to lead a small team investigating post-AGI economics.
