Acceleration

AI acceleration has widened the gap between technology and policy. In my view, the first crack in that gap occurred with the 1996 dismantling of the Office of Technology Assessment in favor of corporate self-governance. The OTA used to be a go-to source for good sense -- what the world needs now. This and more is discussed in my Medium post, 'Heading AI Exceptionalism Off at the Pass: Khan at Atlanticpalooza.' And yes, it takes a look into that recent Atlantic podcast with Lina Khan, the tech billionaires' most dreaded regulator and critic. https://jackivaughan.medium.com/heading-ai-exceptionalism-off-at-the-pass-khan-at-atlanticpalooza-0ac0b914155c
