8 key ideas about AI’s impact on the economy

1. AI will boost productivity, but not lead to an immediate boom in growth across the entire economy.


AI is undoubtedly a powerful driver of productivity, especially in industries where automation, data processing, and predictive modeling can yield direct efficiency gains. However, the overall economy is far too complex for these gains to translate into an immediate, economy-wide boom. Growth requires not only technological breakthroughs but also complementary changes in management, infrastructure, and culture.


Many sectors—such as healthcare, education, and government services—remain resistant to rapid transformation due to regulation, legacy systems, and human-intensive processes. While AI can revolutionize tasks like coding, logistics, and content creation, its diffusion across slower-moving institutions will take time. The economic uplift will therefore unfold unevenly, appearing first in scalable industries and only gradually affecting the broader economic landscape.


2. The key bottlenecks to AI-enabled growth are human, institutional, and organisational — not just compute or…

Accountable Acceleration: Gen-AI Fast Tracks into the Enterprise

🔗https://shre.ink/Wharton-GenAI-adoption-into-the-Enterprise


1. Context


The report arrives at a pivotal moment: After years of experimentation and hype around generative AI (Gen AI), enterprises are now moving into the deployment and value-capture phase.


The study’s authors note that organizations are no longer just testing tools—they are integrating Gen AI into core workflows, scaling up investment, tracking returns, and facing the real challenge of aligning people, processes and trust. In this sense, the report positions 2025 as the year of “accountable acceleration” rather than mere promise.


2. Study Objectives and Methodology


The core goals of the research were to take the pulse of enterprise Gen AI adoption—building on Wharton’s prior waves in 2023 and 2024—and to focus on usage, perception, investment, governance and human-capital dimensions.

Exploring a space-based, scalable AI infrastructure system design

🔗https://shre.ink/Google-Space-AI-Infrastructure


1. Introduction


Google frames AI as a foundational technology that will reshape many domains — science, business, society — and asks: where can we go to unlock its fullest potential?. Their answer: perhaps the best place to scale AI compute is space.


They point out that the Sun emits more power than 100 trillion times humanity’s total electricity production, and that in certain orbits a solar panel can receive up to eight times more annual energy than on Earth. With this in mind, their “moonshot” initiative, called Project Suncatcher, envisions constellations of solar-powered satellites, each carrying high-performance TPUs (Tensor Processing Units), connected by free-space optical links — in effect, a data-centre in orbit.


2. System design and key challenges


2.1 Achieving data centre-scale inter-satellite links

Didn't know about this...! Running AI in space with solar-powered satellites really sounds like sci-fi. I hope it can help the issues around energy use on Earth!

From Crypto Mining to AI: How Bitfarms and Others Are Riding the HPC Wave

Cryptocurrency and AI: A Converging Future

Cryptocurrency and AI might seem like two worlds apart but increasingly they are converging. Companies that once focused solely on mining Bitcoin are now eyeing High-Performance Computing (HPC) and AI infrastructure as the next frontier for growth.

Take Bitfarms (NASDAQ: BITF) as a prime example. Known for powering Bitcoin transactions in Quebec, Canada, the company has pivoted to leverage its data centers, energy assets, and U.S. power campuses to provide HPC and AI infrastructure services. Essentially, Bitfarms is transforming its crypto mining assets into the computing backbone for AI, a market exploding in demand.

Why Crypto Players Are Jumping In

Crypto miners are natural candidates for AI infrastructure:

They already operate large scale data centers optimized for continuous high intensity workloads.

Sara, it’s definitely possible — and in some cases, already happening. Crypto miners like Bitfarms, Hive, or Core Scientific have a unique starting advantage: they already own energy-efficient, high-density data centers built for 24/7 computation. Transitioning from Bitcoin mining to High-Performance Computing (HPC) and AI workloads is a natural evolution when you think about it.


The biggest challenge will be execution and capital. Running AI infrastructure isn’t just about raw compute or cheap power — it also requires networking, cooling optimization, hardware diversity, and client management. Competing with hyperscalers like AWS, Google Cloud, or NVIDIA’s DGX Cloud means these companies must mature quickly from miners into full-fledged infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) providers.


But if they get it right, crypto miners could absolutely become key players in the AI ecosystem, especially in edge computing, decentralized AI training, or GPU hosting markets. Their combination of technical know-how, existing infrastructure, and access to renewable energy could make them powerful enablers of the next AI boom.
