To Bot or Not: A Look at the Economic Outlook and the Landscape of Entertainment
Where is the oft-predicted and never-seen recession? Does the Fed cease interest rate increases at 3% rather than 2% Inflation? With the end of the dual Hollywood strikes, what happens now with an AI-infused entertainment business? The economic outlook conference for the U.S. and California through 2026 will present analyses of these issues along with a discussion of the unknowns.
The UCLA Anderson Forecast’s March 2024 quarterly outlook conference will be held in collaboration with the UCLA Center for Media, Entertainment & Sports and the UCLA School of Theatre, Film & Television.
