AI Adoption: Why the AI Revolution Will Follow the Logic of the Industrial Age

The AI revolution deserves comparison not just with a technology boom but with the industrial era, argues Marta Gimbel. She suggests looking beyond the usual metrics: productivity growth and the fate of professions matter, but so do changes in everyday work inside companies, education, employee expectations, and the logic by which society adapts to new tools and services.

AI adoption is often described as a unique moment in history, but Marta Gimbel suggests viewing the AI revolution through an upheaval society has already lived through. Discussing the future of artificial intelligence, she compares the current shift with the Industrial Revolution and advises looking for clues not only in economic charts but also in 19th-century literature.

How can we better understand AI's impact on business and society?

According to Marta Gimbel, major technological upheavals are better understood not in the moment but through human experience. To make sense of the AI revolution, it helps to look for clues not only in economic charts but also in 19th-century literature about the Industrial Revolution.
