Spotlight: Cycles of Innovation: AI Through the Lens of Historical Tech Revolutions
How do we understand AI as the latest in a long line of technological innovations, and what will it mean to successfully embed it into our social and economic systems? Ultimately, how AI affects how we live and work may have less to do with the technology’s capabilities and more to do with our priorities and values.
In this in-depth and insightful essay, Joseph Byrum discusses crucial implications for managing the integration of AI into business and society.
“Success will require moving beyond the current focus on technical capabilities to address broader questions of governance, ethics, and societal impact. Only then can we ensure that AI’s revolutionary potential serves the broader goals of economic growth and social progress.”
