Marc Andreessen made waves earlier this month by writing a much-discussed manifesto on why artificial intelligence won’t destroy humanity but rather make the world profoundly better. A cofounder of the venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, he also wrote the influential 2011 essay “Why Software Is Eating the World.”
Andreessen argues that thanks to A.I., “productivity growth throughout the economy will accelerate dramatically, driving economic growth, creation of new industries, creation of new jobs, and wage growth, and resulting in a new era of heightened material prosperity across the planet.”
