Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have the potential to affect growth, inequality, productivity, innovation, and employment. OpenAI’s ChatGPT, in particular, has greatly increased public awareness about the significance of AI and its implications for the future. What impact will the development of AI have on economic inequality, the composition of the workforce, and economic output as a whole? How can nations prepare for the micro and macroeconomic changes brought about by AI?

人工智能（AI）的进步有可能影响经济增长、不平等、生产力、创新和就业。尤其是OpenAI 的ChatGPT，它大大提高了公众对人工智能意义及其对未来影响的认识。人工智能的发展会对经济不平等、劳动力构成和整体经济产出产生什么影响？各国应如何为人工智能带来的微/宏观经济变化做好准备？

NO.2题目2

Measuring national and global economic activity allows us to understand how economies change in size and structure—how they grow and contract. In addition to Gross Domestic Product (GDP), government budgets, and the money supply, alternatives like the Human Development Index (HDI) and Gross National Income (GNI) are used to assess economic progress. What are the advantages of our current economic indices, including GDP, HDI, GNI, government budgets, and the money supply, and in what areas are they lacking? Which of these indices do you find most helpful, and how can we enhance or combine them to improve our understanding of economic measurement?

通过衡量国家和全球经济活动，我们可以了解经济体在规模和结构上的变化——它们是如何增长和收缩的。除国民生产总值（GDP）、政府预算和货币供应量之外，人类发展指数（HDI）和国民总收入（GNI）等其他指数也被用来评估经济进步。我们目前所用经济指数，包括国民生产总值、人类发展指数、国民总收入、政府预算和货币供应量，这些指数在评估时有哪些优势？您认为哪些最有帮助？我们如何加强或结合这些指数来提高我们对经济衡量的理解？

NO.3题目3

Proponents of income redistribution support the idea that redistribution policies will increase economic stability and give more opportunities to the less wealthy. Others, however, are more skeptical and believe it could have negative consequences for economic growth. Current methods of redistribution include taxation, welfare, public services, and other monetary policies. What strategies for income redistribution should the U.S. adopt from other countries? What economic impacts could a wealth tax or super millionaire tax have? What type of redistribution is most effective and feasible? What would be the impacts of the U.S. enacting universal basic income? Discuss the implications of any of these issues and feel free to expand on other areas of economic redistribution.

收入再分配的支持者认为，再分配政策将提高经济稳定性，并为不太富裕的人提供更多机会。但也有人持怀疑态度，认为这可能对经济增长产生负面影响。目前的再分配方法包括税收、福利、公共服务和其他货币政策。美国应借鉴其他国家的哪些收入再分配策略？财富税或超级百万富翁税会对经济产生什么影响？哪种类型的再分配最有效、可行？美国颁布全民基本收入法案会产生哪些影响？讨论其中任何一个问题的影响，并随意扩展到经济再分配的其他领域。

NO.4题目4

As the United States weighs the impacts of China’s rise to global prominence, economics and national security have become increasingly intertwined. As a result, the United States government has imposed both tariffs and investment restrictions on China to limit the nation’s access to both US markets and intellectual property (specifically in sensitive industries such as semiconductors). What are the economic implications of these policies for United States firms, consumers, and workers? Discuss the most important perspectives of the US-China trade war and provide suggestions on how both countries can manage the prospect of a changing economic order.

在美国权衡中国崛起对全球的影响时，经济和国家安全日益交织在一起。因此，美国政府对中国实施了关税和投资限制，以限制中国进入美国市场和知识产权领域（特别是半导体等敏感行业）。这些政策对美国公司、消费者和工人有什么经济影响？讨论你对中美贸易战的主要观点，并就两国如何管理不断变化的经济秩序前景提出建议。
