Intelligence is a subjective and multifaceted concept with varying definitions and interpretations
The use of scalar measures like IQ to determine intelligence can be flawed and inaccurate
There is no singular or standard measure of intelligence as different measures assess different skills and abilities
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.
