🎙️ Welcome back to “Revise and Resubmit” — the place where bold ideas meet brilliant minds, and every paper tells a story worth retelling.

📚 Today, we’re diving into a paper that’s reshaping how we think about intelligence itself — “Artificial Intelligence in the Knowledge Economy” — written by Enrique Ide and Eduard Talamàs. Published by The University of Chicago Press in the Journal of Political Economy, one of the most prestigious FT50 journals, this study asks: what happens when machines don’t just assist us... but start knowing more than we do? 🤖💡

It’s not your average economics model. This one imagines a world of workers and solvers, of copilots and autonomous agents. The twist? The smarter the AI, the wider the gap between who benefits — and who gets left behind. 📈⚖️

So buckle up — because as we peel back the layers of this research, you’ll see how autonomy, inequality, and technology collide in the modern knowledge economy.

✨ Thanks to Enrique Ide and Eduard Talamàs for their groundbreaking work, and to The University of Chicago Press for bringing this scholarship to light in such a revered journal.

Now here’s the question that will keep you thinking long after this episode ends:
👉 If intelligence itself can be automated — what does it really mean to be “knowledgeable”? 💭
