ICYMI: Keynote Insights from 2024

A person wearing a leather jacket is giving a presentation, pointing to a projected slide with various text and tables. The room is equipped with a projector.

At the 2024 Business & Generative AI Conference, Stanford’s Erik Brynjolfsson delivered a keynote that challenged business leaders to look beyond the headlines and toward the deeper economic transformations generative AI is already driving.

“AI is the most general of all general-purpose technologies,” he said. “It’s changing what we can do, how we work, and who benefits.”

Revisit this thought-provoking conversation which includes four key takeaways on how generative AI is reshaping work, redefining who benefits, and transforming the distribution of prosperity.
