Artificial intelligence can rescue the global economy from ten years of low growth, former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown said.

“We’re heading for a low-growth decade if we don’t have the productivity surge that AI can give us,” Brown, who led the UK between 2007 and 2010 said in a Bloomberg TV interview on Monday. “It can transform a whole range of industries.
