intelligence, the supremacy of the algorithm, represents one of those transformational moments for humankind? i m not sure that it does. but there is a fair chance that it will have transformative effects. it is all commonplace to compare it to the fire, or to the rise of industrial machinery starting in the 18th century. it remains to be seen whether it will be as important for our productivity and our lives, but we are already seeing some of its deep effects on how we organise our democracy, and inequality in modern nations. maybe you are not quite so sure about how dramatic its transformational impact will be, but you certainly seem to be pretty sure that you re sceptical. you say ai will fuel inequality, disempower workers, and, quote, choke democracy ? how? ai is a continuation of a trend that started perhaps around forty years ago, where we have been using digital technologies, for changing how production is organised, who controls information, and how we communicate.
