Tyler Cowan: A lot of columnists getting a rut and it's good to see what happens there. When I read a column, I think to myself, what GPT level is that column written at? He says the thing to do is to change the regulations for prescribing medicines. "I don't think we should set up like the regulatory body for AI that to regulate a thing"

Economist Tyler Cowen of George Mason University talks with EconTalk's Russ Roberts about the benefits and dangers of artificial intelligence. Cowen argues that the worriers--those who think that artificial intelligence will destroy mankind--need to make a more convincing case for their concerns. He also believes that the worriers are too willing to reduce freedom and empower the state in the name of reducing a risk that is far from certain. Along the way, Cowen and Roberts discuss how AI might change various parts of the economy and the job market.
