Google DeepMind researchers Alex Imas and Shane Legg published The Economics of Intelligence, defining four capability regimes: minimal AGI, supercompetent AI, supercooperative AI, and artificial superintelligence. Their organisational-economics model argues that rising single-agent competence shifts output and wages smoothly, whereas crossing a multi-agent coordination threshold lowers internal firm friction enough to trigger sudden jumps in firm scale, market concentration, and labour displacement.
