Across all groups, unconditional forecasts for 2030 were clustered tightly around the current rates, spanning from 2.4% to 2.5%. By 2050, unconditional medians remain in roughly the same range, ranging from the economists' prediction of 2.5% to AI experts' prediction of 3.0%. However, disagreement between groups, as well as uncertainty within groups, slightly increases (as reflected in the shaded regions).
