Bringing people together at AI for the Economy Forum
What Happened
Google is bringing people together in Washington D.C. at our AI for the Economy Forum.
Our Take
Google rented a ballroom in D.C. to talk "AI for the Economy" while every startup in the valley is already shipping GPT-4 wrappers to cut 30% of back-office headcount.
Another policy brunch changes nothing for teams racing to hit <$0.10 per 1k RAG queries; skip the keynote and stay on Haiku—regulation moves slower than your burn rate.
Ignore unless you lobby for a living; builders keep shipping.
What To Do
Switch from GPT-4 to Haiku for RAG reranking and pocket the $0.06/1k-token delta because your CFO cares more about runway than panel quotes.
Builder's Brief
What Skeptics Say
A Google-hosted DC forum on AI and the economy is corporate lobbying with a think-tank veneer. No policy outcomes emerge from events convened by the companies most invested in minimal regulation.
