AI could drive an economic transformation larger than the Industrial Revolution on a far shorter timeline, carrying risks including large-scale job displacement — and policymakers must act now to prepare for it.?

Context: A hedged collective call to action, not a dated forecast with a falsifiable metric, so it is recorded rather than scored. Its central proposition — that AI risks "large-scale job displacement" over the next decade — remains open: no official series isolates a headcount of AI-caused layoffs, and contemporaneous readings split. Revisit as official labor statistics mature toward 2030.
