He emphasizes that the development and implementation of AI are not inevitable and that human choices, particularly those made by policymakers and citizens, will shape its direction and impact. Acemoglu highlights the potential benefits of AI, such as economic growth and improved efficiency, but also stresses the need to address its potential negative consequences, including job displacement and the concentration of power in the hands of a few. He draws parallels to the British Industrial Revolution, demonstrating how technological advancements can bring both progress and challenges.
