On October 31st, the Nobel laureate in economics, Professor MIT Daron Acemoglu, in his latest interview with Bloomberg, stated that he had underestimated itAgent AI THE SPEED OF DEVELOPMENT, BUT THE USE OF CHAT ROBOTS IN PERSONAL LIFE, AND AI INTO THE PRODUCTION PROCESS, IS STILL TWO THINGS TO DISTINGUISH。
He's against the use of universal artificial intelligenceAGISET AS THE ONLY DIRECTION FOR DEVELOPMENT, BELIEVING THAT OVER-SATISFACTION TO THIS GOAL WOULD LEAVE OTHER USES UNEXPLORED. HE SUGGESTED THAT IF MORE AI PEOPLE WERE ABLE TO MOVE TOWARDS THE GOALS OF INCREASING THE PRODUCTIVITY OF WORKERS AND INCREASING CITIZEN AUTONOMY, TECHNOLOGY WOULD MOVE IN THOSE DIRECTIONS; HE AGREED THAT CHINA WAS MORE ACTIVE THAN THE UNITED STATES IN TRYING TO INTEGRATE AI INTO THE PRODUCTION PROCESS。
Turning to automated incentives, Acemoglu advocated reducing the tax gap between capital and labour income and reducing the additional incentives for enterprises to replace labour with capital. At the same time, he acknowledged that changes in tax burden could lead to real concerns, such as the emigration of enterprises, and that specific policies needed to be negotiated。
WITH REGARD TO THE ASSERTION THAT "AI WILL CHANGE LIFE, BUT SHOULD ALLOW A SMALL NUMBER OF TECHNOLOGY ENTREPRENEURS TO DETERMINE THEIR DIRECTION", HE ARGUED THAT THE DEEPER THE IMPACT OF TECHNOLOGY, THE MORE THE PUBLIC HAS THE RESPONSIBILITY TO PARTICIPATE IN SHAPING ITS DEVELOPMENT。
