    I don’t have sources for the 2024 deflation in China and AI. (I qualified my initial statement “hard to know”).

    Robotics are a proxy for AI in manufacturing.

    I suspect AI is about to give us a type of deflation no economist has ever seen or modeled before. What will happen when AI gives us the expert knowledge of doctors, lawyers, technicians, teachers, engineers, etc etc almost for free?

    You can’t talk of this scenario in terms of past models, because it’s never happened before, but we can clearly see that it’s just about to happen to us right ahead.
