In Sunak's speech you quote him as saying

"Credible estimates suggest AI alone could double our productivity in the next decade"

I think he might be referring to this article in Fortune magazine, which has the misleading title "A top economist who studies AI says it will double productivity in the next decade"

What the economist actually says is that the annual rate of *increase* in productivity will double from 1.5% to 3%.

One of Sunak's problems is that he thinks he's technically smart, but he isn't. Just the sort of person to be taken in by AI hype, sadly.

The sense of entitlement just oozes out of Rishi, he really does think he deserves a medal for doing the job of PM

This is so obvious and so off-putting it must be getting noticed by voters surely
