In Part Three, The Future of the Myth, I argue that the myth has very bad consequences if taken seriously, because it subverts science. In particular, it erodes a culture of human intelligence and invention, which is necessary for the very breakthroughs we will need to understand our own future. Data science (the application of AI to “big data”) is at best a prosthetic for human ingenuity, which if used correctly can help us deal with our modern “data deluge.” If used as a replacement for individual intelligence, it tends to chew up investment without delivering results. I explain, in particular, how the myth has negatively affected research in neuroscience, among other recent scientific pursuits. The price we are paying for the myth is too high. Since we have no good scientific reason to believe the myth is true, and every reason to reject it for the purpose of our own future flourishing, we need to radically rethink the discussion about AI.
