[Nobel Prize winner Agios: AI is expected to increase productivity growth by 1.08 percentage points per year, exceeding the IT revolution] "Science and Technology Innovation Board Daily" reported on the 10th that in 2026 At the Inclusion Bund Conference, Nobel Prize winner and French economist Philippe Agion said that AI is expected to increase productivity growth by an additional 1.08 percentage points per year in the next ten years, potentially affecting more than the IT revolution; however, whether this technological potential can be transformed into sustained growth depends on whether competition policies, education systems, and labor market systems can keep up. "0.68 percentage points is just a lower limit." If the role of AI in promoting the generation of new ideas is further considered, Aghion believes that productivity growth may increase by at least an additional 0.4 percentage points per year, with a total potential increase of about 1.08 percentage points. But he also reminded that technological breakthroughs will not automatically translate into sustained growth. "AI does have great growth potential, but whether it can be fully unleashed also depends on whether competition issues can be handled well."
