STR Global Unlocked with Simon Lehmann · 039: Hospitality Isn’t Ready for the Future Guest | Jamie Lane · 7 Jul 2026 podcast

Uh so almost all economic growth right now, at least in the US and I think in part of Europe as well, is being driven by AI infrastructure.

I mean, the stock market is being driven by.

I mean, all the gains in the Magnificent Seven, which are all being driven by I AI growth.

And if all that just causes doesn't come to be, like we could see a pretty severe uh uh contraction in the stock market and overall economy over the next one to two years.

And then the fourth one is really the one that would be worse for our industry, because AI falls flat, like that's

That's more cyclical.

It's not structural.

But if we saw uh in the downside job market unheaval scenario, this is where like you get into some of the really sort of dark scenarios of and um we see all these companies investing in AI, they've got a cutback on workers, and we start seeing more and more layoffs, white-collar workers, blue-collar workers.

Uh, because they're able to replace all these workers with AI.

And then you just see all the productivity gains not distribute to everyone, but just to the owners and operators of these companies.

It's uh Mark Zuckerberg getting richer, it's uh uh it's Elon Musk and SpaceX being the next $10 trillion company.

And that it really starts to hollow out uh the consumer economy, uh, which could be uh pretty detrimental to our industry.

I'm I'm definitely an optimist.

Um my money goes into I'm the AI empowered to productivity boom.

Like I do think I there is a lot of uh uh vectors of growth that will trickle down.

Um and

I'm we've seen this in the past, like not this exact scenario, but I think I'm

You go back and look through history.

And it's always sort of the same of like there's gonna be this huge technology that's gonna disrupt everything and it's gonna leave everyone um and without a job.
