Claim LD01-SL-C31 (v1.0)
Krokowski and Hirsch-Kreinsen treat AI as “a paradigmatic case of a promising technology” whose future-oriented narratives mobilize resources while application problems and functional limits are “frequently overlooked,” and suggest that its future “could be characterized more by” a path of “routinization” than by the vision of artificial general intelligence.
