Nobel laureates and AI leaders warn on closing economic window

Over 200 economists and AI researchers, including 16 Nobel laureates and representatives from Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic, issued a coordinated statement warning that the window to prepare for AI's economic impact is closing fast. The statement doesn't propose concrete policy measures, and studies so far haven't found significant AI-driven labor market effects.

Why it matters: A high-profile show of consensus concern, even without concrete proposals, may pressure policymakers to act.
