Artificial intelligence (AI) is making labor easier to substitute in favor of capital. Provide an appropriate graphical representation and verbal explanation of how this is likely to affect a firm’s cost minimization problem. What would happen to a cost-minimizing firm’s input choice?
Intially, iso-cost line is KL when firm used OK & OL amount of capital and labour & producing 100 units of output represented by Iso-quant (IQ)Q1 .
when technical progress takes place due to use of artificial intelligence cost of production declines and Iso- cost line shifts backward to K1L1 while producing same output at IQ2 . Consequently capital labour ratio also increased.
