1 Rejecting the claim of business-as-usual for the global economy, transformationalists see AI as an expression of broader digital shifts occurring in institutional life and contemporary society. Industry 4.0, big data and supercomputers are key examples.

2 There is an emphasis upon a revolutionary transformation of manufacturing and services, which demands a radical rethinking of labour market strategies.

3 Transformationalists are concerned not just with intensified economic dynamism stemming from AI, but with changes in society, culture and political life. In other words, AI transforms not only how we work but also how we live.

4 Some assessments emphasize that AI promotes productivity and economic growth, which in turn fosters innovation. Other assessments position economic growth and social equality as out of alignment, with resulting predictions of jobless futures.

5 Public policy requires far-reaching adjustments and shifts as a result of the AI revolution.

6 AI is global and transnational in scope, and its resulting opportunities and risks impact nations around the world. As such, AI requires creative responses from policy-makers and politicians about forms of effective political regulation, democratic accountability and ethical governance.
