What happened
Vanguard forecasts 3% U.S. GDP growth in 2027, higher than other professional forecasts, driven by AI's economic impact.
Why it matters
The firm sees AI shifting big rewards from AI builders to AI users, marking a fundamental shift in growth trajectory rather than incremental improvement.
What to watch

Vanguard's forecast is based on a data-rich study of current AI capabilities compared with past game-changing technologies. The firm argues that growth from AI will be a fundamental shift, not just incremental improvement. It acknowledges that while AI is already boosting activity, it may take another year or two to confirm whether AI will be as transformative as the personal computer. The key test is whether AI moves beyond automation to enable entirely new economic possibilities.
