The article discusses the economic situation in 2028, noting that the unemployment rate has risen to 10.2% and the S&P 500 index has fallen 38% from its 2026 peak.

An article co-authored by Alap Shah, Managing Partner of Lotus Technology Management, and Citrini Research is set against the backdrop of June 2028. In this simulated future, the unemployment rate in the United States has just risen to 10.2%, and the S&P 500 index has fallen 38% from its peak of approximately 8,000 points in October 2026. Citrini Research’s latest simulation study indicates that the maturity of AI technology by the end of 2026 (with the S&P 500 reaching a high of 8,000 points) will trigger an unprecedented structural crisis rather than sustained prosperity.
