Ethan Mollick urges non-tech people to shape the future of AI

Wharton professor Ethan Mollick says people outside the tech industry should decide what future they want from AI and how to get there, rather than leaving that work to Silicon Valley.

In a post on X dated October 9, 2026, he points to tech CEOs' claims that AI will free people from work as the reason for his argument.

The post is a call to action and does not describe any specific policy, proposal or program. The reported source for the view is Mollick's own X post.
