a) I suspect AI able to replace human labour will create such abundance that it will eliminate poverty (assuming that we don’t then allow the human population to increase to the maximum carrying capacity). b) The connection the other way around is less interesting. Obviously, AI requires capital, but once AI is able to self-reproduce then amount of capital required to kickstart economic development becomes minimal. c) “I also wonder if you have the time to expand on why you think AI would solve or improve global poverty, considering it currently has the adverse effect?”—How is it having an adverse effect?
