In the grand tapestry of economic evolution, the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) emerges as a vibrant thread, promising to weave new patterns of innovation and prosperity. Yet, for the major economies burdened by towering debts, this renaissance is not a free pass to prosperity. As the Japan Times poignantly notes, "AI boom will be no free pass for debt-laden major economies."
