Uzi Bobuzi"AI itself is an industry product that is already prone to hyperbole and exaggeration. The heads of AI companies such as OpenAI's Sam Altman, are happy to feed the concerns about AI safety because it makes their products seem more powerful than they are. They are artificial hype-men. Today we have forecasts of AI significantly boosting the economy and speculative visions of a world run by virtual AI workers. Yet we haven't seen AI have much impact on growth or productivity. Even going back to 1987 the Nobel Prize-winning economist Robert Solow quipped, 'You can see the computer age everywhere but in productivity statistics.' That fundamentally hasn't changed: we still haven't seen any significant economic boost from AI."
