“Artificial intelligence is projected to contribute $15.7 trillion to the global economy by 2030, including about $6.6 trillion from productivity gains and $9.1 trillion from consumption-side effects, representing a 14% increase in global GDP versus a scenario without AI.”
The figures are real and accurately reflect PwC’s widely cited 2017 AI macroeconomic projection: up to $15.7 trillion by 2030, with gains split between productivity and consumption effects. But this is a scenario-based estimate, not a consensus forecast, and later analyses emphasize uncertainty, adoption assumptions, and uneven distribution of benefits.
“The World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs Report 2025 states that 60% of employers expect expanding digital access to transform their business operations by 2030.”
The 60% statistic is well-supported by the WEF Future of Jobs Report 2025, as confirmed by the primary EY-hosted document and multiple secondary sources. The claim's wording differs slightly from the report's original language — the report says "broadening digital access" and "transform their business," while the claim says "expanding digital access" and "business operations." These are minor paraphrasing differences that preserve the substantive meaning without creating a false impression.
