Opinion: What if A.I. Is Just a 'Normal Technology'?
Original: Video: Opinion | What if A.I. Is Just a ‘Normal Technology’?
The New York Times has published an opinion video asking whether artificial intelligence should be viewed not as a revolutionary force but as 'normal technology' — a tool that, like electricity or the internet, will be absorbed gradually into everyday life. The piece challenges hype on both sides, questioning predictions of either transformative upheaval or existential risk, and inviting viewers to reconsider how disruptive A.I. really is.
Why now: Debate is intense over whether A.I. will transform society or settle into being an ordinary tool, and this argument pushes back on the revolutionary framing.
