🧀

Alison Gopnik from UC Berkeley argues that the concept of AI as individual intelligent agents is misguided, suggesting instead that they're cultural technologies similar to writing or the internet. She illustrates this with a modern twist on the folktale 'Stone Soup', where tech execs claim to create artificial intelligence from algorithms, while in reality, it's the collective resource contribution from many which creates the final product.
