Economic growth requires workflow change, not just tech diffusion
True economic growth from AI requires not just fast technology diffusion but a change in the work, the work artifact, and the workflow; just as the Industrial Revolution took ~70 years of diffusion before economic growth appeared, AI's payoff depends on corporations undertaking real change management, which shouldn't be discounted.

“After 70 years of diffusion is when you started seeing the economic growth. That's the other thing to remember. Even if the tech is diffusing fast this time around, for true economic growth to appear it has to diffuse to a point where the work, the work artifact, and the workflow has to change.”
