Can you compare AI now to the internet?

Daron Acemoglu, an @mit Institute professor and Nobel laureate, says AI hype isn’t the same as when the internet was hyped. He’s of the opinion that “hype is an enemy of business success.”

The internet had “clear transformative potential for communication, commerce, and networking.” He adds, “While it works well for repetitive cognitive tasks, it’s unclear how AI will benefit workers in roles as diverse as entertainment, custodial work, and leadership.” @MITSloan
