Comparing the revenues of tech companies to the gdp of a country, even to give a sense of scale is comparing apples to oranges.
Even if a bit unlikely, I would not be completely surprised if the service industry as a whole produced twice the value its produces today thanks to AI in the next 20/30 years. Not to mention the productivity gains in other sectors.
- nl 3y agoCompany revenue is probably the closest analogy of a country's GPD though. It's a rough measure of the money circulating in the company/country. And GPD made us of: "goods and services produced for sale in the market..." which is fairly roughly the sum of all companies' revenue. > I would not be completely surprised if the service industry as a whole produced twice the value its produces today thanks to AI in the next 20/30 years. Sure. 20/30 years is Google's age so make sense. I don't think 20 years is particularly short term though and 30 years certainly isn't.
