AI Pathways series: building remarkable things with AI doesn't require losing control
allisondman · x · 2026-09-03
In the first AI Pathways conversation, Anthony Aguirre poses the question: do we want AIs to be our tools, or us to be theirs? He argues that remarkable AI applications—from large-scale democratic deliberation to tracing misinformation to its source—don't require building systems beyond our control, and the current path isn't the only one. The series also features Audrey Tang and Stuart Russell on the choices still open in how AI gets built.
