Most questions about AI aren't actually technical questions—they're about philosophy, economics, psychology, and how society will transform. Technical AI experts are often unqualified to answer them, just as steam engine engineers weren't the ones who understood the Industrial Revolution's broader impacts.
- The AI revolution, like the Industrial Revolution, will transform institutions, culture, economics, and human psychology all at once, making it impossible to understand through narrow technical expertise alone
- Even questions directly about AI—like whether super-intelligent systems will be conscious, or whether "intelligence" is a single measurable property—depend on philosophy and theory of mind, not just how neural networks work
- The core assumption of modern expertise (that reality decomposes into independent domains) breaks down when one technology threatens to reshape everything simultaneously, requiring polymaths and philosophers rather than siloed specialists
