AI governance debate: Normal tech vs. extraordinary intervention

This essay argues against extraordinary government intervention in AI development, advocating instead for improved policymaking and societal resilience to manage risks. The authors contend that AI, while a powerful general-purpose technology, should not be treated as fundamentally "abnormal" compared to previous innovations. They highlight that while AI's economic impacts may be slow to materialize due to diffusion speed limits, its misuse risks can emerge rapidly, necessitating a focus on defense and resilience rather than restrictive regulations on companies.
