The global industry potential of artificial intelligence is well-documented, yet the vision of this AI future is uncertain. AI and automation trends are generating significant debate among economists and governments, particularly around employment impact and uncertain social outcomes.

AI is at a crossroads, and its long-term outlook is still hotly debated.
