Yes, one of our goals in writing AI as Normal Technology was to provide an explicit positive vision that a broad swath of society can potentially rally around — one that contrasts with the weird utopias that AI leaders tend to promote. AINT is not a prediction; it won’t happen by default. It will take a lot of work to shape AI so that we derive transformative benefits while keeping it as a tool. But it is achievable if we collectively want it. The point is that we can accept the technology without accepting the vision of the future that comes from its developers.
