AI is clever, not wise. What do I mean by clever vs. wise? In his seminal work, "Small Is Beautiful: Economics as if People Mattered," E.F. Schumacher, a German-British economist, uses the term "cleverness" to refer to the technical and analytical capabilities that have enabled humanity to achieve remarkable feats, such as landing on the moon, creating powerful computers, and developing sophisticated technologies. Cleverness, in his view, is about mastery over the material world, efficiency, and the pursuit of economic growth often at the expense of environmental health and social well-being.
