The Federal Reserve has released a study showing that AI's slow productivity gains mirror a pattern observed during the early 20th century. The study suggests that the current AI productivity paradox is not unique, but rather fits into a historical context where new technologies take time to integrate and show measurable economic benefits.
Businesses and investors are affected, as the slow adoption and integration of AI technologies challenge expectations of immediate productivity boosts. The study does not specify what happens next.
