A Journalist's Take: AI Discourse Lacks Serious, Accessible Education for the Public
SchmidhuberAI · x · 2026-09-26
Schmidhuber reshared a journalist's critique of current AI discourse. The author argues the central question is who exactly needs convincing: far too little effort goes into educating end users and voters so they can understand AI's consequences and make informed decisions.
The author notes polished promotional videos about AI and LLMs are everywhere, yet genuinely well-produced, accessible videos featuring credible independent experts who explain risks and present the strongest counterarguments with equal seriousness and reach are rare. Most discussions target experts already shaping the technology around their own priorities.
