• Measuring the AI Economy

  Staff working paper 2026-20 Anton Korinek, Patrick McKelvey

  We construct a macroeconomic estimate of total AI production in the United States, combining inference and R&D/training activities with quality adjustments to account for algorithmic progress. We then develop a nascent framework for "AI GDP" that tracks the AI economy as a coherent whole, complementing traditional national accounts.
