City Journal: Brian Chau believes the fears of Artificial Intelligence are groundless because:
The history of innovation offers reason to doubt the safetyists. Every major research field in history has eventually reached a point of diminishing returns, where useful discoveries become increasingly rare. The pattern holds across disciplines—physics, chemistry, and economics—and is visible at a more granular scale, too, from antibiotics to railroads to CPUs. Initial bursts of progress taper off as fields mature, following an economic pattern known as the “S-Curve.”
Execupundit note: I am not assured by this analysis. It strikes me as comparing apples with oranges. "Every major research field in history" does not possess the characteristics of AI.
Let us proceed with the correct assumption that Brian knows far more about the subject than I do.
What am I missing?
