Source URL (MIT Technology Review) returned HTTP 403, blocking direct fetch. Web search confirms Nobel laureate Daron Acemoglu stated "My argument is that we currently have the wrong direction for AI. We're using it too much for automation and not enough for providing expertise and information to workers" in a February 2025 MIT Technology Review interview. Confirmed by MIT Technology Review, MIT Economics, and other outlets. Vote direction (against) is correct since Acemoglu argues AI is being used too much for automation (displacing workers) rather than augmenting them. Year (2025) and author attribution are correct.
