But the reality is that as countless industries continue to integrate AI, individuals who possess in-demand skills are commanding a big premium in the job market. With U.S. labor productivity stalling, AI may be the boost we need to jumpstart economic growth. AI technologies such as computer vision, natural language, process automation and advanced machine learning have the potential to add $13 trillion to global economic activity by 2030.
