IBM's @Gary_D_Cohn pushes back on AI doom narratives.
He says he's got a bigger concern: a state-by-state AI regulatory patchwork that could slow America down in its race against China, rather than AI eliminating jobs.

As high energy prices spark protests around the world, IBM Vice Chairman Gary Cohn says rising fuel costs are also weighing heavily on American consumers, with higher diesel prices impacting the economy through farming and transportation.

Former Trump economic adviser and IBM Vice Chairman Gary Cohn says he was “not at all” surprised by the Federal Reserve’s decision to raise interest rates last week as it confronts persistent inflation, despite signs of strength in the economy and job market.

IBM Vice Chair and former National Economic Council Director Gary Cohn said new Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh “is completely acknowledging where we are in the economy” and “understands that we’ve got inflation at three-year highs.”
