Abstract

In this chapter, we describe the development of AI since World War II, noting various AI “winters” and tracing the current boom in AI back to around 2006/2007. We provide various metrics describing the nature of this AI boom. We then provide a summary and discussion of the salient research relevant to the economics of AI and outline some recent theoretical advances.
