Comment by Jens Jørund Tyssedal

Philosopher at the University of Bergen and author on AI, abundance, and technological risk.
It is often suggested that the advent of powerful AI will create abundance and that it can thereby contribute to securing social harmony. This paper draws on Hirsch’s study of different kinds of limits to growth to show that this is false.
