Dr. Tenpao Lee, professor emeritus of economics at Niagara University, points to past technological revolutions \u2013 the Industrial Revolution, the assembly line, and the rise of computer networking \u2013 to substantiate AI&#8217;s potential impact. &#8220;AI could drive radical productivity improvements, expanding the global economy&#8217;s capacity,&#8221; he asserts. &#8220;This expansion, as history suggests, can lead to higher GDP, lower prices, and ultimately, a broader improvement in standards of living.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><b style=\"font-weight: normal;\">\u00a0<\/b><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"><b>Productivity, Efficiency, and the Supply-Demand Dynamic<\/b><\/span><\/p><p><b style=\"font-weight: normal;\">\u00a0<\/b><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">AI&#8217;s most potent impact could be realized within supply chains. Consider McKinsey&#8217;s findings: AI-driven supply chain management can significantly lower logistical costs, slash inventory levels, and enhance service outcomes. It can translate to fewer lost sales, higher efficiency, and a general easing of bottlenecks in the flow of goods.<\/span><\/p><p><b style=\"font-weight: normal;\">\u00a0<\/b><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\"

font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">These gains, in turn, have inflationary implications.\u00a0 &#8220;As AI expands production capacity, it could outpace demand, applying downward pressure on prices,&#8221; explains Professor Fan. &#8220;While it&#8217;s important to recognize that inflation is a complex phenomenon influenced by many factors, AI&#8217;s productivity gains offer\u00a0 significant potential in mitigating price pressures.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight:
