I hate to be cynical but I expect this call will generate as much action as climate change warnings.

Politicians are debating whether to setting up committees as we speak.

the problem, of course, is all the value could pop in a bubble, and then what, you're just making the world a better place without all that delusions of grandeur?

The Genie is already out of the bottle. Economists sounding the alarm will not translate into action because poor countries see AI as an equalizer and the economists & the rich as one in the same, their common enemy. Only way to reverse course is for them tricky political varmints to feel the effects of AI in the polls and their pockets. "I should have seen this coming. Can't be top dog forever." Good thing am a living in a holodeck simulation, with the ability to reboot my program, or I'd be real worried, right bout now, yes sir! :) Buster Scruggs
