The impact of AI on the workforce will be influenced by what different institutions throughout society—including businesses, nonprofit institutions, worker organizations, colleges and universities, and government—choose to do to guide its development and use.

Summary: AI is introducing the third user-interface paradigm in computing history, shifting to a new interaction mechanism where users tell the computer what they want, not how to do it — thus reversing the locus of control.

…me, salty Kuhn fan will add that “this is not a paradigm shift, it is just a new thing.”

It’s also important for journalists to ask what metric the company is using to evaluate the model—and whether that is the right one to use. A useful question to consider is whether a false positive or false negative is worse. For example, in a cancer screening tool, a false positive may result in people getting an unnecessary test, while a false negative might result in missing a tumor in its early stage when it is treatable.
