How we develop and use AI will either strengthen prosperity or deepen inequality, argues Nobel Prize-winning economist Daron Acemoglu. Today’s choices could even put liberal democracy under greater strain. In a special conversation, he shares insights collected in his latest book, “What Happened to Liberal Democracy? Remaking a Politics of Shared Prosperity”, breaking down:

The forces weakening community and prosperity - and the growing divide between college-educated and non-college workers
His concept of “pro-worker AI” (models that expand human capabilities, rather than just replace them) and the potential impact on prosperity and economies
The institutional choices that will have the biggest impact – and the key economic metric to watch in the years ahead
