Google DeepMind's AGI economics lead Alex Imas said on the MTS podcast that advanced economies could sustain 4–5% annual GDP growth even with widespread AI agent adoption, arguing that automation's deflationary effect on prices means official GDP figures may understate real output gains. Imas emphasized that falling production costs could translate into lower consumer prices, and since GDP measures the monetary value of goods and services produced, cheaper automated output would be weighted down in growth statistics. The claim matters because it pushes back on fears that AI-driven automation will stall measured economic growth in developed markets. What to watch next is whether price declines from automated production show up in official inflation and GDP data, and how economists adjust measurement frameworks accordingly.
