What If We Got AI Right? by Eleanor Drage review – avoiding apocalypse

Eleanor Drage argues that to better manage AI alongside humans, we need to understand that AI is a product of human labor and resources, not a mysterious force, and to see through marketing claims like "the cloud" (just someone else's computer) and "hallucinations" (system errors). She contends that tech companies cannot deliver on utopian AI promises while prioritizing profit, and that focusing on apocalyptic AI scenarios distracts from practical conversations about giving citizens more power over their data and how AI models are trained and regulated.
