[Cathie Wood: Plummeting AI Costs Could Trigger a Productivity Revolution, Economy May Experience 'Benevolent Deflation'] ARK Invest founder Cathie Wood posted on the X platform, stating that the current cost of AI inference is dropping by 99.99% annually at the same performance level. Meanwhile, OpenAI's annualized revenue run rate has increased from $20 billion to $70 billion, indicating that declining costs are driving rapid demand growth. Cathie Wood believes that the cost reductions brought by innovative platforms like AI will gradually spread to broader economic sectors, enhancing productivity and corporate profitability, and pushing inflation rates below the levels most investors expect—what she refers to as 'benevolent deflation.' ARK Invest predicts that real GDP growth could reach high single digits, even though this forecast may seem 'crazy' to most people. In an environment of stronger real growth, interest rates could actually rise.
