Ethan Mollick criticizes the old IBM slide shown by CSAIL

AI summary

MIT CSAIL shared an IBM slide from 1979. Ethan Mollick said he finds this slide repulsive every time he sees it, and pointed out that the claim in the slide had already ceased to hold before it was made: automated systems have always been making management decisions (trading, logistics, customer service, insurance), and pretending they don't is actually shirking responsibility.

I hate this slide every time it comes up, and now from CSAIL

This has been false since before the slide was made. Automated systems make management decisions all the time (trading, logistics, customer service, insurance) & pretending they don't actually launders responsibility.
