Comment by Daron Acemoglu

Replacing workers with machines is not the only way to improve economic efficiency. Rather than automating work, some innovations boost how much individuals contribute to production. Governments should foster competition and investment in technology that pairs AI tools with human expertise to improve work in vital social sectors. Research and development in human-complementary AI technologies require greater support.Disputed source (2023)

The provided IMF page is a December 2023 article credited to two authors, DARON ACEMOĞLU and SIMON JOHNSON, not Daron Acemoglu alone. It does contain the relevant sentences, but they appear in two separate passages; the stored text omits intervening material without [...], drops the clause after “economic efficiency,” and reverses the order of the final two sentences. So this is not a verbatim single-author quote. ([imf.org](https://www.imf.org/en/Publications/fandd/issues/2023/12/Rebalancing-AI-Acemoglu-Johnson))

Disputed: the IMF source is a co-authored article by Daron Acemoglu and Simon Johnson, not Acemoglu alone, and the supplied passage is stitched from two noncontiguous parts of the article: the first two sentences appear in one paragraph, while the last two appear later under the separate bullet “Funding for more human-complementary research.” Because those sentences are not presented together in the source, the quote is not verbatim as given.
