☹️ In DI: Sweden is hurt by AI pessimists
I write in Dagens Industri, Sweden's largest business newspaper, about Sweden's world-leading AI pessimists:
"Sweden has produced two of the world's foremost AI pessimists, Max Tegmark and Nick Bostrom. Together, they have likely done more damage to AI development than any other duo in the world, making Swedes particularly fearful. Now, it's time for a change. In the 90s, the world talked about the Swedish IT miracle. We can get there again, but we need to start producing world-leading AI optimists, instead of doom prophets."
