IPEd responds to Productivity Commission inquiry on AI impact

The third wave of our AI Global Public Opinion Tracker confirms and deepens earlier findings, now reinforced by other respected U.S. surveys. The data are gaining consistency, pointing to clear directions for the future of communication, journalism and the use of AI tools in the workplace. One finding of note is that nearly half of respondents prefer AI that efficiently solves technical problems over AI that is designed to mimic human conversation and empathy. Dan Sultanescu, Ph.D., at the National School of Political and Administrative Studies in Bucharest, Romania, and CIC’s associate dean for research Linwan Wu, Ph.D., are the principal investigators for the AI index study.

Every bubble creates winners and losers. AI will be no different. The difference won’t be who has the fastest tools—it will be who brings the most originality to them. The AI boom feels a lot like past technology bubbles: breathless hype, massive investment, and the promise of transformation. History tells us what comes next—there will be both winners and losers. The winners won’t be the companies that simply plug in the same tools as everyone else. Efficiency gains alone get matched by competitors. What endures is differentiation—the ability to stand out in a sea of sameness. And in an AI-saturated market, that requires human originality: people who know how to use AI not just to accelerate, but to expand the idea space. This is the lesson from every prior wave of disruption: technology levels the field, originality redraws it. The AI bubble will be no different.
