The effects of K_T adoption are heterogeneous across industries, firms, countries, and cohorts — early adopters and capital-rich firms/countries gain most — implying important transition dynamics for political economy.
Cross-country comparisons, industry- and firm-level panel heterogeneity analyses, and case studies demonstrating variation in adoption timing and gains; model simulations emphasizing transition path dependence.
Aggregate productivity (output per worker or per unit of inputs) can rise while labor’s share and employment decline due to substitution toward K_T.

For knowledge-intensive workers whose intellectual capital spans tens of thousands of files, the CAD constitutes a qualitative threshold in AI usefulness: below it, the cognitive burden of context curation falls on the human, reproducing the inefficiencies AI is meant to eliminate.
Theoretical argument grounded in the paper's conceptual discussion about large personal/organizational corpora (stated scale: tens of thousands of files) and the user burden of manual context attachment.
There exists a finer-grained divide at the level of individual interaction — the Context Access Divide (CAD) — whereby two users with nominally equivalent agent access may experience qualitatively different AI utility depending on whether the system can autonomously retrieve context (Dynamic Context Retrieval) or requires manual document attachment (Manual Attachment).

GAGI is a necessary complement to GDP-based monitoring: any macroeconomic monitoring instrument that tracks only aggregate output will systematically miss the distributional harm that automation can cause even while reported growth remains strong.
Argument combining conceptual critique of GDP with empirical demonstration on G7 data using the GAGI index (authors' normative policy recommendation).
The divergence between welfare-adjusted prosperity (GAGI) and headline GDP widens sharply after 2022, temporally coincident with the after-effects of COVID and the acceleration of generative-AI deployment, though this evidence alone does not demonstrate causation.
Temporal pattern observed in the authors' G7 2010–2026 empirical series (associational observation; authors explicitly note lack of causal identification).
Applying GAGI to the G7 economies over 2010-2026 shows that welfare-adjusted prosperity has diverged persistently and increasingly from headline GDP growth.
Empirical analysis performed on G7 countries over 2010–2026 (sample: 7 economies; time series comparison of GAGI vs. GDP per capita).
What is missing from the macroeconomic monitoring toolkit is an operational monitoring trigger: a statistic minimal enough to compute annually from public data, transparent enough to audit without modelling assumptions, and normalised so that year-on-year, cross-country change is legible to a regulator.
Normative/methodological claim by the authors arguing for a practical monitoring statistic (no empirical test; statement of need).
GDP per capita is blind to two first-order determinants of lived prosperity: income/wealth distribution and inflation impact.
Conceptual/definitional argument presented by the authors in the paper (no empirical test reported).

Mediation models using occupational/role-level employment categories showing reductions in production and managerial headcounts associated with AI adoption.
AI adoption widens intra-firm pay disparities (increases pay inequality within firms).
Regression analyses showing divergent effects on employee vs. executive pay and explicit measures of intra-firm pay disparity in the panel data.
Oligopolistic capture of productivity gains is intelligible as an outcome of AI-driven assetisation (i.e., productivity gains are appropriated by a small number of firms).
Theoretical claim based on political economy argument about assetisation and market power; no empirical sample or quantitative evidence reported in the excerpt.
Labour markets for university-educated workers are where the explanatory limits of human capital theory are most consequentially exposed.
Theoretical critique supported by political economy / sociological reasoning (no empirical sample reported).
