'AI' Is Not a Tool by Rich Hickey

Rich Hickey argues that 'AI' is a misleading term and proposes that the field should be referred to as 'Software 2.0'. He claims that the current term 'AI' is too broad and encompasses various fields, leading to misconceptions and a lack of understanding of the nuances of the field. Hickey also suggests that 'AI' is often used to describe systems that are not necessarily intelligent, but rather just complex software. He cites the example of a chess engine, which is not intelligent but can play chess better than humans, and argues that this is not the same as true intelligence. Hickey proposes that the term 'Software 2.0' better captures the essence of the field, emphasizing the idea that modern software is not just about writing code, but also about creating complex systems that can learn and adapt.
