Back to Not Really AI Problems
Debunked
Not Really an AI Problem
AI isn't real / it's all hype
Already in hospitals, logistics, media; denial wastes time & cedes ground.
Description
Claims that AI is 'just hype' ignore its already substantial deployment in hospitals, logistics, media, and other sectors. Denial wastes valuable time and cedes ground in important policy discussions.
Origin of the Concern
Skepticism about AI capabilities and real-world impact, dismissing advances as marketing hype.
What's Misunderstood
AI systems are already deployed and creating value in hospitals, logistics, media, and many other sectors. Dismissing these as 'hype' prevents engagement with important policy questions.
Empirical Context
Illing & Harper (2024) document the real-world deployment and impact of AI systems across multiple sectors.
