Global Macroeconomic Study Predicts $15 Trillion AI Dividend by 2030

LONDON — A joint inquiry conducted by global economic institutions estimates that generative and agentic artificial intelligence will inject approximately $15.7 trillion into global economic output over the remainder of the decade.

The gains are forecast to materialize predominantly through automated workflow enhancement, diagnostic precision in medicine, and supply chain logistics optimization.

Key Drivers of Economic Value

  • Labor Productivity: Up to 45% of output growth will stem from labor enhancement tools augmenting professional services.
  • Product Enhancement: Consumer goods and personalized medicine accounts for the remaining 55% of incremental value creation.
  • Geographic Distribution: North America and East Asia are poised to capture early windfalls, though developing economies could experience leapfrog gains in agricultural yield modeling.
