The AI Safety Debate Is All Wrong
Today's anxiety about the risks posed by artificial
intelligence reflects a tendency to anthropomorphize AI and causes us to focus
on the wrong issues. Since any technology can be used for good or bad, what
ultimately matters is who controls it, what their objectives are, and what kind
of regulations they are subjected to.

Policymaking has long socialized the risks and
privatized the gains of economic activity. Until we rethink the conventional
narrative about value creation, innovation will continue to benefit only
shareholders, rather than all stakeholders – from workers and taxpayers to the
communities where businesses operate.
