Power and Progress: The Mini-Comic!

A short cartoon adaptation of Power and Progress: Our Thousand-Year Struggle Over Technology and Prosperity by co-directors Daron Acemoglu and Simon Johnson is now available.

Polly (a robot) and Daisy (a historian) debate whether AI will cause harm or do good – and whether its trajectory is inevitable.

The mini-comic was developed in collaboration with the Boston University College of Fine Arts Visual Narrative MFA program, led by Joel Christian Gill.
