Comment by Gary Cohn
IBM vice chairman and former director of the U.S. National Economic Council.
I believe that AI will be a productivity boom for this country. [...] If the economy grows and GDP grows, which is what happens in productivity, you actually create more jobs or you don't lose jobs because you need more jobs for what's going on in the economy. [...] If we continue down this path and [data centers] can get built, there's just going to be enormous demand for more and more workers in the system.AI Verified (Sep 23, 2026)
