Latest update (11-10 11:09): Nathan Lambert says expert humans are needed to diffuse AI into knowledge work

Overview: AI researcher Nathan Lambert says adoption of AI in knowledge work will be slow because the work is interpersonal, messy and context-driven. In a post on X, he argues that data companies should position domain experts as helping AI companies improve tools for workers, not as being replaced by them. He says this framing contrasts with the view from AI labs that artificial superintelligence will replace all knowledge work. Lambert discloses that he advises Mercor, a data company, on this idea.
