AI's impact isn't showing up in productivity data yet — here's what needs to change

Productivity data has not yet reflected the rapid adoption of AI in business. According to a recent analysis, the expected economic boom from AI remains invisible in GDP figures. The reason is that many companies are still focused on cost-cutting rather than using AI to build new products, services, or ways of working. Until that shift happens — from saving money to creating value — the macroeconomic numbers will stay flat. Why it matters: For young adults entering the workforce, this suggests that the real career opportunities from AI may not come from automating existing jobs but from inventing what comes next.

What kind of new business or service do you think AI will unlock that doesn't exist yet?
