Dr. Rebecca Homkes, economist and lecturer at the London Business School, discusses the impact of AI adoption on the global economy and just how companies are using the technology to their advantage.

Dr. Homkes says at 4:03 regarding a downside of AI:
What we do not have is cross-team, cross-functional, organizational-wide productivity, which is something you will see as an external. And the reason is getting those kind of gains does not take throwing AI on top of work. It takes actually redesigning workflows, and that is really hard work that takes time. So we'll get there maybe/probably, but short to near term. We are looking at change.
