Strategy Forget The Debt Ceiling And
Focus On These Equity Tailwinds
Our recent report, ChatGPT and the Curse of the Second Law, has garnered quite a lot of
attention from both clients and the media. As a follow-up, I discussed some of the economic
and financial implications of the AI revolution with my colleague, Roukaya Ibrahim, on her
Quicktakes podcast. It will be available online this Friday. Melanie Kermadjian and I have also
recorded a video on the existential risks posed by AI. I will be posting it to my Twitter account and
BCA’s YouTube channel.
