Researchers Frame AI As Normal Technology
Arvind Narayanan and Sayash Kapoor argue in a new essay that artificial intelligence should be viewed as 'normal technology' rather than a separate, superintelligent species. They describe current AI as controllable tools and predict this will remain the foreseeable trajectory, urging proportional policy and engineering responses instead of drastic interventions. The framing aims to counter utopian and catastrophic discourse and inform pragmatic governance.
