Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss a new Citrini Research report about how AI could trigger an unprecedented economic recession within the next two years. They argue that rapid AI adoption—particularly tools enabling non-technical users to replicate expert work—threatens knowledge workers who have sustained the modern economy, and that, unlike previous technological disruptions, this transition may happen at a faster rate. They explore how this disruption challenges existing policy frameworks and requires urgent political attention before widespread labour market dislocation occurs.
