AI companies are building machines that could outstrip human intelligence and unleash a dramatic economic transformation on us all.

Alex Castellanos : By what right do a few powerful tech CEOs get to decide that our world should be turned upside down? He says it’s clearly undemocratic that private companies build tech that aims to totally change the world without seeking buy-in from the public.

He says when anyone questions that norm of “permissionless invention,” a lot of tech enthusiasts push back.

Peter Bergen : It’s awesome that AI is helping scientists better understand disease, but that's not the attempt to build a “magic intelligence in the sky” While plenty of people do want narrow AI , polling shows that most Americans don’t want AGI.

He says the public is too ignorant to tell innovators how to innovate, but it's wrong to ignore public wishes.

Bergen says there are lots of technologies that we’ve built but placed tight restrictions on.
