AI as Normal Technology
The article by Arvind Narayanan and Sayash Kapoor presents a perspective of AI as normal technology rather than a potential superintelligence. It argues against the view of AI as a separate intelligent entity, instead proposing that AI should be seen as a tool that humans can remain in control of. The authors explore this concept through several parts, discussing how AI adoption, diffusion, and application development happen at different paces, emphasizing the slow and deliberate process required for transformative technologies to integrate into society. The authors predict that AI's societal impact will be gradual and controlled, with a focus on continuity and adaptation rather than drastic policy interventions or the need for breakthroughs.
