Economists Warn AI Could Outpace the Industrial Revolution

More than 200 global economists and AI researchers, including 15 Nobel laureates, just signed an open letter warning AI could disrupt the world economy faster than any past technological shift. On today's Techstrong Gang, Alan Shimel, Mike Vizard, Kate Scarcella, Sid Nag, Chris Blask and Ashraf Al Hajj unpack the letter and its high-profile signatories, then turn to new research showing how AI is lowering the skill floor for terrorist groups like Boko Haram and ISIS. Plus, Microsoft warns that AI has compressed the window between a security patch's release and its exploitation from weeks to hours — and is telling enterprises to cut Windows update delays to under three days.
