Inference, not prediction — Prof. Michael I. Jordan on what modern AI is still missing

Michael I. Jordan, a leading figure in machine learning and statistics, argues for reframing AI from a race for disembodied superintelligence to the design of collective economic systems. He critiques the AGI hype, advocates for integrating economic principles and robust uncertainty quantification into ML, and proposes a new intellectual framework for building technology that augments, rather than replaces, human systems.
