Conjecture
AI transforms the economy when organisations of AI agents outcompete organisations of people, not when one AI beats one person.
The claim
Whether AI transforms the economy depends on how well organisations of AI agents compete with organisations of people, not on whether one AI beats one person. Imas, Koh and Legg (Google DeepMind, 2026) argue this is why fast gains on solo-agent benchmarks have so far left employment and industry structure largely unchanged.

Part of the reason for this disconnect is that the individual AI agent is the wrong economic object.
