The AI Mirage: When Technology Promises More Than It Delivers

In Silicon Valley boardrooms and tech policy circles, a sobering counterpoint to AI hype has emerged. Princeton professor Arvind Narayanan's critical examination of artificial intelligence has become essential reading, with industry leaders calling it "the most important book on AI this decade." What makes this perspective particularly compelling is Narayanan's insider knowledge as a former Google researcher-his critique comes not from technophobia but deep expertise. Imagine if we used the word "vehicle" to describe everything from bicycles to spacecraft without distinction. That's our current predicament with "artificial intelligence"-a term so broad it confuses meaningful discourse. Narayanan brilliantly separates AI into two distinct categories: generative AI (like chatbots) and predictive AI (systems attempting to forecast human outcomes). While generative AI has made remarkable strides despite its immaturity, the real concern lies with predictive AI-technologies claiming to forecast human behavior that simply don't work as advertised. This distinction matters because predictive AI's failures have real consequences when deployed in hiring, criminal justice, or healthcare. Why does this matter? Because the AI industry is selling solutions to problems that technology fundamentally cannot solve, and we're buying the hype without demanding evidence.
