One the first point, I think most technical people would agree with the claim: “AI is a very different type of thing that qualifies as software given a broad definition, but that’s not how to think about it.”
And given that, I’m saying that we don’t say ” a videoconference meeting is different to other kinds of software in important ways,” or “photography is different to other kinds of software in important ways” because we think of those as a different thing, where the fact that it’s run on software is incidental. And my claim is that we should be doing that with AI.
