The Debate Surrounding AI
The discourse on artificial intelligence (AI) is fragmented, with differing perspectives clashing over its implications and future. After the launch of ChatGPT in late 2022, the conversation intensified, exposing a rift between those who view AI as a revolutionary advancement and those who fear its consequences. Four distinct schools of thought have emerged, categorizing viewpoints along axes of autonomy versus control and positive versus negative societal impacts. These classifications help outline the varying beliefs about AI's potential and the emotions it evokes, from hope to apprehension.
