We completed the most comprehensive study of how economists and AI experts think AI will affect the U.S. economy. They predict major AI progress—but no dramatic break from economic trends: GDP growth rates similar to today's and a moderate decline in labor force participation. However, when asked to consider what would happen in a world with extremely rapid progress in AI capabilities by 2030, they predict significant economic impacts by 2050: • Annualized GDP growth of 3.5% (compared to 2.4% in 2025) • A labor force participation rate of 55% (roughly 10 million fewer jobs) • 80% of wealth held by the top 10% (highest since 1939) 🧵 Here's what we found:

The roots of today’s AI boom go back further than it seems. A decade after AlphaGo’s breakthrough, its influence is still visible in how modern systems learn, adapt and make decisions. What once looked like a milestone has become part of the foundation. The current wave of AI is not a sudden leap, but the result of years of compounding progress. https://t.co/4L4HyNvC0i @matteo_wong @theatlantic

It recognizes the private companies wi th the most potential to shape the future of enterprise technology. Thank you to Wing Venture Capital and Eric Newcomer, and congratulations to all the companies honored this year.

Despite expecting significant AI progress, economists' overall (unconditional) forecasts for the economy stay close to today's trends. Median economist forecasts: • Annual GDP growth: 2.5% in 2030 and 2050 (compared to 2.4% in 2025) • Labor force participation rate: 61% in 2030, 58% in 2050 (compared to 62.6% in 2025) But, in a ‘rapid’ AI progress world, economists expect larger shifts (see red lines in figures below).

AI safety has entered the cybersecurity era. 
@IrenaCronin and I write this newsletter every week.   AI safety is becoming a cybersecurity issue because advanced AI can now help both defenders and attackers, making the risks more immediate and practical. As AI systems become more agentic and more deeply connected to enterprise tools and data, organizations need stronger controls, monitoring, and governance to prevent misuse and reduce exposure.

Dr. LeCun's heavily promoted Joint Embedding Predictive Architecture (JEPA, 2022) [5] is the heart of his new company. However, the core ideas are not original to LeCun. Instead, JEPA is essentially identical to our 1992 Predictability Maximization system (PMAX) [1][14]. Details in reference [19] which contains many additional references. Motivation of PMAX [1][14]. Since details of inputs are often unpredictable from related inputs, two non-generative artificial neural networks interact as follows: one net tries to create a non-trivial, informative, latent representation of its own input that is predictable from the latent representation of the other net’s input. PMAX [1][14] is actually a whole family of methods. Consider the simplest instance in Sec. 2.2 of [1]: an auto encoder net sees an input and represents it in its hidden units (its latent space). The other net sees a different but related input and learns to predict (from its own latent space) the auto encoder's latent representation, which in turn tries to become more predictable, without giving up too much information about its own input, to prevent what's now called “collapse." See illustration 5.2 in Sec. 5.5 of [14] on the "extraction of predictable concepts." The 1992 PMAX paper [1] discusses not only auto encoders but also other techniques for encoding data. The experiments were conducted by my student Daniel Prelinger. The non-generative PMAX outperformed the generative IMAX [2] on a stereo vision task. The 2020 BYOL [10] is also closely related to PMAX. In 2026, @misovalko, leader of the BYOL team, praised PMAX, and listed numerous similarities to much later work [19]. Note that the self-created “predictable classifications” in the title of [1] (and the so-called “outputs” of the entire system [1]) are typically INTERNAL "distributed representations” (like in the title of Sec. 4.2 of [1]). The 1992 PMAX paper [1] considers both symmetric and asymmetric nets. In the symmetric case, both nets are constrained to emit "equal (and therefore mutually predictable)" representations [1]. Sec. 4.2 on “finding predictable distributed representations” has an experiment with 2 weight-sharing auto encoders which learn to represent in their latent space what their inputs have in common (see the cover image of this post). Of course, back then compute was was a million times more expensive, but the fundamental insights of "JEPA" were present, and LeCun has simply repackaged old ideas without citing them [5,6,19]. This is hardly the first time LeCun (or others writing about him) have exaggerated LeCun's own significance by downplaying earlier work. He did NOT "co-invent deep learning" (as some know-nothing "AI influencers" have claimed) [11,13], and he did NOT invent convolutional neural nets (CNNs) [12,6,13], NOR was he even the first to combine CNNs with backpropagation [12,13]. While he got awards for the inventions of other researchers whom he did not cite [6], he did not invent ANY of the key algorithms that underpin modern AI [5,6,19]. LeCun's recent pitch: 1. LLMs such as ChatGPT are insufficient for AGI (which has been obvious to experts in AI & decision making, and is something he once derided @GaryMarcus for pointing out [17]). 2. Neural AIs need what I baptized a neural "world model" in 1990 [8][15] (earlier, less general neural nets of this kind, such as those by Paul Werbos (1987) and others [8], weren't called "world models," although the basic concept itself is ancient [8]). 3. The world model should learn to predict (in non-generative "JEPA" fashion [5]) higher-level predictable abstractions instead of raw pixels: that's the essence of our 1992 PMAX [1][14]. Astonishingly, PMAX or "JEPA" seems to be the unique selling proposition of LeCun's 2026 company on world model-based AI in the physical world, which is apparently based on what we published over 3 decades ago [1,5,6,7,8,13,14], and modeled after our 2014 company on world model-based AGI in the physical world [8]. In short, little if anything in JEPA is new [19]. But then the fact that LeCun would repackage old ideas and present them as his own clearly isn't new either [5,6,18,19]. FOOTNOTES 1. Note that PMAX is NOT the 1991 adversarial Predictability MINimization (PMIN) [3,4]. However, PMAX may use PMIN as a submodule to create informative latent representations [1](Sec. 2.4), and to prevent what's now called “collapse." See the illustration on page 9 of [1]. 2. Note that the 1991 PMIN [3] also predicts parts of latent space from other parts. However, PMIN's goal is to REMOVE mutual predictability, to obtain maximally disentangled latent representations called factorial codes. PMIN by itself may use the auto encoder principle in addition to its latent space predictor [3]. 3. Neither PMAX nor PMIN was my first non-generative method for predicting latent space, which was published in 1991 in the context of neural net distillation [9]. See also [5-8]. 4. While the cognoscenti agree that LLMs are insufficient for AGI, JEPA is so, too. We should know: we have had it for over 3 decades under the name PMAX! Additional techniques are required to achieve AGI, e.g., meta learning, artificial curiosity and creativity, efficient planning with world models, and others [16].

The question of who benefits from AI is becoming more urgent. Some argue that AI should not only serve companies, but also empower workers by giving them more control, insight and influence over how work is done. It is a shift from automation replacing labor to augmentation strengthening it. The future of AI may depend less on what it can do and more on who it is built for. https://t.co/0tU4RPAgBN @time @imravikumars @Cognizant

Agent harnesses are too restrictive. That's because they're still designed as code. What if the harness itself were written in natural language and interpreted by an LLM at runtime? This research explores the idea. The work introduces Natural-Language Agent Harnesses (NLAHs), a structured natural-language representation that externalizes harness logic as a portable, executable artifact. Instead of scattering control flow across controller code, framework defaults, and tool adapters, NLAHs make contracts, roles, stage structure, state semantics, and failure taxonomies explicit and editable. An Intelligent Harness Runtime (IHR) places an LLM inside the runtime loop to interpret and execute these harnesses directly. Why does it matter? Harness design is increasingly decisive for agent performance, but it's buried in code that's hard to transfer, compare, or ablate. NLAHs make the orchestration layer a first-class scientific object. The practical implication: harnesses become portable across runtimes, composable across tasks, and directly inspectable by humans and models alike.

Polling is running into a new problem. Automated responses generated with AI are starting to distort survey data, making it harder to separate real opinions from fabricated ones. What once relied on honest participation is becoming easier to manipulate at scale. When data becomes unreliable, the decisions built on top of it become questionable too. https://t.co/Tsz8ezlDAQ

A leaked model is raising new concerns about AI and cybersecurity. Anthropic’s “Mythos” is described as a step change in capability, especially in how AI agents can act, reason and operate independently. That makes it easier for attackers to scale operations and run multiple campaigns at once. At the same time, risks are growing inside companies. Employees using AI agents may unknowingly expose internal systems, while identity breaches are becoming easier, shifting cybersecurity into a new phase driven by AI itself. https://t.co/ZDdNfXx8HT @euronews
