When thinking about AI replacing people, we usually look to the extremes: utopia and dystopia. My guest today, Finn Morehouse, a research fellow at Forethought, a nonprofit research organization, thinks that neither of these extremes are the most likely. In fact, he thinks that one reason that AI defies prediction is that it’s not a normal technology. What’s not normal about it? It’s not merely in the business of multiplying productivity, he says, but of replacing the standard bottleneck to greater productivity: humans.
