"Banking and finance, pharmaceuticals, automotive, medical technology, retail. Artificial intelligence (AI) has made its way into many industries around the world. But the truth is, it has just begun its odyssey toward cheaper, better, and faster predictions to drive strategic business decisions-powering and accelerating business. When prediction is taken to the max, industries transform. The disruption that comes with such transformation is yet to be felt-but it is coming. How do businesses prepare? In their bestselling first book, Prediction Machines, eminent economists Ajay Agrawal, Joshua Gans, and Avi Goldfarb explained the simple yet game-changing economics of AI. Now, in Power and Prediction, they go further to reveal AI as a prediction technology directly impacting decision-making and to teach businesses how to identify disruptive opportunities and threats resulting from AI. Their exhaustive study of new developments in artificial intelligence and the past history of how technologies have disrupted industries highlights the striking phase we are now in: after witnessing the power of this new technology and before its widespread adoption-what they call "the Between Times." While there continue to be important opportunities for businesses, there are also threats of disruption. As prediction machines improve, old ways of doing things will be upended. Also, the process by which AI filters into the many systems involved in application is very uneven. That process will have winners and losers. How can businesses leverage, or protect, their positions? Filled with illuminating insights, rich examples, and practical advice, Power and Prediction is the must-read guide for any business leader or policy maker on how to make the coming AI disruptions work for you rather than against you"--

This book is a must-read for anyone who wants to peek around the corner into AI's future." - Shivon Zilis, Director of Operations and Special Projects, Neuralink; former project director, Tesla
"Nobody provides more insight into the fundamental economics of AI and what AI truly enables than Agrawal, Gans, and Goldfarb." - Tiff Macklem, governor, Bank of Canada

"Whether we like it or not, artificial intelligence is set to influence every aspect of our lives. How can we make sure that individuals, companies, and organizations benefit from it rather than waste time and resources dealing with unintended consequences? This readable book provides an excellent introduction, emphasizing how AI can improve what we do by providing better predictions and helping reorganize systems." - Daron Acemoglu, Elizabeth and James Killian Professor of Economics, MIT; author, When Nations Fail
"Power and Prediction is an important book not only for economists who model the impact of artificial intelligence and entrepreneurs who want to maximize its benefits but also for social scientists and public policy analysts.

Along the way, they shine a new light on the importance of systems and rules. A must read for everyone in the public as well as the private sector." - Janice Gross Stein, Professor of Political Science, Munk School, University of Toronto
