Citadel Debunks Viral AI-Induced Recession Scenario

Citadel Securities this week published a report by Frank Flight rebutting Citrini Research's viral essay 'The 2028 Global Intelligence Crisis', which predicted an AI-driven economic collapse. Citadel cites real-time labor and AI-diffusion data — including 11% year-over-year growth in software job postings and stable generative-AI workplace use — arguing compute, energy, and macroeconomic constraints make rapid mass displacement unlikely. The rebuttal reframes the debate toward monitoring concrete metrics.
