\u201cCambrian explosion\u201d<\/a> of technological advances \u2013 including artificial intelligence \u2013 could propel the US\u2019 potential economic growth to 4 per cent by 2030, and as high as 10 per cent in less than a quarter-century, overshadowing Middle East oil shocks and other near-term headwinds.<\/p>\nFraming AI as a long-term driver rather than a bubble, the economist said that the US and China were the world\u2019s two leading innovators, and that both stood to benefit.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat fundamental story \u2013 regardless of geopolitics, regardless of climate change, regardless of populism \u2013 is the driver for the next 10 to 20 years, and is a positive for the world at large,\u201d Roubini said at the Greenwich Economic Forum in Hong Kong on Monday.<\/p>\n
Roubini pointed to around 15 technologies \u2013 including AI, semiconductors, humanoid robots and space exploration \u2013 that he said collectively represent a \u201cCambrian explosion of new technologies of the future that we\u2019ve not seen in human history\u201d.<\/p>\n
With the boost from technology, the American economy\u2019s potential annual growth, which now stands at 2 to 3 per cent, is expected to reach 4 per cent by the end of the decade, said the economist, who is also the chairman and CEO of Roubini Macro Associates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The economist famously dubbed \u201cDoctor Doom\u201d for predicting the 2008 financial crisis has seemingly morphed into a bullish…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":601277,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[62,142516,276,277,8580,49,90752,48,95,1376,227623,15674,1259,227624,227625,172000,61,182,48653,9671],"class_list":{"0":"post-601276","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-american-economy","10":"tag-artificial-intelligence","11":"tag-artificialintelligence","12":"tag-beijing","13":"tag-ca","14":"tag-cambrian-explosion","15":"tag-canada","16":"tag-china","17":"tag-donald-trump","18":"tag-greenwich-economic-forum","19":"tag-hong-kong","20":"tag-middle-east","21":"tag-nouriel-roubini","22":"tag-roubini-macro-associates","23":"tag-strait-of-hormuz","24":"tag-technology","25":"tag-us","26":"tag-us-president","27":"tag-xi-jinping"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/601276","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=601276"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/601276\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/601277"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=601276"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=601276"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=601276"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
