Comment by Erik Brynjolfsson
Economist, AI & productivity scholar
I'm pretty confident about the productivity gains and about the wealth that is going to be created. I'm really concerned that it's not going to be evenly distributed, and that a lot of people will be hurt in a significant way.

Quote by Erik Brynjolfsson (Stanford economist, Digital Economy Lab director), 2026, from the Stanford Report article on the SIEPR Economic Summit (the provided source_url). Direct WebFetch returned 403, but web search confirmed the exact quote appears in this Stanford coverage: confident about productivity gains/wealth created but "really concerned that it's not going to be evenly distributed, and that a lot of people will be hurt in a significant way." Attribution and year 2026 correct; source URL is the genuine primary article. Vote "for" on statement "The economic gains from frontier AI should be shared with every person on Earth" aligns — Brynjolfsson's concern about uneven distribution reflects support for broadly sharing AI's gains. Quote is relevant and captures the statement's meaning.
