Macroeconomics of Artificial Intelligence: How Intelligence Is Restructuring the World

Artificial intelligence is not only a technological revolution. It is a macroeconomic force. Macroeconomics of Artificial Intelligence explains how AI is restructuring the world economy by changing productivity, labor markets, inflation, energy demand, education, government budgets, globalization, data power, and the future of human intelligence. In this book, Marc Aurele Yetgang argues that artificial intelligence is becoming the new motor of the world economy. Like steam, electricity, and the computer before it, AI is not limited to one sector. It is entering technology, finance, medicine, education, agriculture, business, public policy, defense, and the human mind itself. But this transformation carries both promise and danger. AI can multiply productivity, accelerate innovation, create new industries, and expand economic possibilities. At the same time, it can deepen inequality, create new forms of unemployment, weaken the bargaining power of workers, increase pressure on governments, concentrate power in the hands of a few companies and countries, and create a generation that uses artificial intelligence without developing its own capacity to think. This book explores the major economic questions of the AI era: How will AI affect productivity and growth? Will AI create more jobs or destroy more jobs? Can AI increase inflation through energy demand, public spending, and new investment cycles? Why is electricity becoming one of the most important resources of the AI economy? How will AI divide society between those who understand the technology and those who do not? Why must unemployment benefits become workforce transition systems? How will AI reshape globalization, Africa, the Global South, and the balance of power between the United States and China? And most importantly: how can humanity keep artificial intelligence under human command? Macroeconomics of Artificial Intelligence is a book for students, economists, policymakers, entrepreneurs, educators, workers, business leaders, and anyone who wants to understand the economic future that is already arriving. The central message is clear: AI may become the greatest economic engine in human history, but only if human intelligence remains above artificial intelligence.
