There's some reported productivity rises in sectors that have adopted AI more widely, but this uplift is self-reported & driven by opinion surveys, not economic data.

Accepting that economic data lags, nonetheless no such uplift is (yet?) visible in actual economic data.

So the Q. is:

is the AI productivity uplift merely a figment of over-active business imagination... or:

like most technological advances, AI's impact on productivity will take time to work through?
