ABC Business Daily
Peter McCrory on Claude and the big AI disruption

They're not friends or anything.

ABC Business Daily
Peter McCrory on Claude and the big AI disruption

They're just doing tasks, right?

ABC Business Daily
Peter McCrory on Claude and the big AI disruption

So talk us through this difference in the streams.

ABC Business Daily
Peter McCrory on Claude and the big AI disruption

How do you think that's going to develop?

ABC Business Daily
Peter McCrory on Claude and the big AI disruption

And productivity.

ABC Business Daily
Peter McCrory on Claude and the big AI disruption

I don't think I, so I can just interrupt.

ABC Business Daily
Peter McCrory on Claude and the big AI disruption

I don't think I understand what you mean by context information.

ABC Business Daily
Peter McCrory on Claude and the big AI disruption

I mean, are you talking about just the amount of tokens, AI tokens that are being used?

ABC Business Daily
Peter McCrory on Claude and the big AI disruption

And that means it's more expensive to use.

ABC Business Daily
Peter McCrory on Claude and the big AI disruption

You said before that it's different to electricity because with the adoption of electricity, they had to build power stations and all this and power lines and everything, which was a lot of infrastructure.

ABC Business Daily
Peter McCrory on Claude and the big AI disruption

But I would have thought it was actually a pretty good analogy because in order to make AI work, you've got to build all these data centers and you need a lot of power.

ABC Business Daily
Peter McCrory on Claude and the big AI disruption

So to what extent is AI adoption and production being limited by the amount of compute that is available in data centers and the amount of power that's available to do it?

ABC Business Daily
Peter McCrory on Claude and the big AI disruption

You did some work with Maxim Masenkov, and you introduced an idea you called observed exposure.

ABC Business Daily
Peter McCrory on Claude and the big AI disruption

which is the gap between what AI can do in theory and what Claude is actually being used for.

ABC Business Daily
Peter McCrory on Claude and the big AI disruption

So what surprised you about that?

ABC Business Daily
Peter McCrory on Claude and the big AI disruption

And how long will it take for that gap to be closed?

ABC Business Daily
Peter McCrory on Claude and the big AI disruption

Why is that?

ABC Business Daily
Peter McCrory on Claude and the big AI disruption

But that 1.8% productivity growth over 10 years that you talked about before, to what extent is that to do with augmentation?

ABC Business Daily
Peter McCrory on Claude and the big AI disruption

And to what extent is it displacement?

ABC Business Daily
Peter McCrory on Claude and the big AI disruption

I mean, obviously, if there's fewer workers doing the same thing, then productivity, labor productivity of the workers increases, right?
