Opinion: What if AI Is Just a 'Normal Technology'?
Original: Opinion | What if A.I. Is Just a ‘Normal Technology’?
A New York Times opinion piece asks whether artificial intelligence should be treated as a 'normal technology' rather than an unprecedented force that demands exceptional policy or apocalyptic forecasts. The argument challenges both doomsayers who predict existential risk and boosters who promise a total transformation of society, suggesting AI may unfold like past general-purpose technologies, with gradual adoption, regulation and adaptation by institutions.
Why now: The debate over whether AI is a unique disruption or an ordinary technology is currently central to policy and public discussion.
