I do not doubt that AI will make us more efficient, productive, and healthy, and it is likely to give new insights in how to better manage some social problems. It will also produce some consequences that we will deeply regret but, alas, learn to live with.

As a power tool junkie, I know whereof I speak. I do not doubt that AI will make us more efficient, productive, and healthy, and it is likely to give new insights in how to better manage some social problems. It will also produce some consequences that we will deeply regret but, alas, learn to live with. Yes, it will make us smarter--but wiser? No. It may have the ability to suggest a better course of action in this instance or that, but it has no power to make the human will do one thing rather than another.
