(Presumably if coding can be done faster, AI can be created more quickly too)
Wait, which mechanisms did you have in mind?
AI → software coded up faster → more software people go into AI → AI becomes more popular?
AI → coding for AI research is easier → more AI research
AI → code to implement neural networks written faster → AI implemented more quickly (afaik not too big a factor? I might be wrong though)
AI → code that writes e.g. symbolic AI from scratch → AI?
I don’t recommend that you update much on what I had in mind, since I wasn’t thinking very hard about this point. What I had in mind was:
If someone discussed it with me, I might have also mentioned
AI → code to implement neural networks written faster → AI implemented more quickly
(I wasn’t particularly thinking of that though)
I guess the labour market effects (i.e. the below) might also apply, but I wasn’t thinking of that
