200+ Researchers Including 15 Nobel Laureates Warn AI May Leave Humanity Only Years to Adapt

Over 200 researchers and economists, including 15 Nobel laureates and researchers from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google, issued a joint statement on Monday (July 13) warning governments and tech leaders to immediately establish policies and institutions to address AI's potential economic impact. The statement cautions that AI could trigger economic transformation exceeding the scale of the Industrial Revolution but in a much shorter timeframe, posing major challenges to workers, businesses, and public institutions. Anton Korinek, a University of Virginia professor and member of Anthropic's economic research team, emphasized that while transformative technologies like steam power, electricity, and computing gave society decades to adapt, AI may leave humanity only years. The signatories, spanning AI industry leaders and economists, called for immediate research into AI's economic effects and urgent development of necessary policies to ensure the technology benefits society while mitigating risks such as large-scale job displacement.
