Summary
In 350 years of technological disruption, steam, electricity, the internet, mobile, the number of times a government or industry has successfully stopped a technology from disrupting society is zero. So the question isn't "should AI happen." It's: are you the leader who adapts, or the one who gets left explaining why you didn't?
