I appreciate the attention given to my article by my interlocutors. I regret that the skeptical and anti-utopian thrust of my original essay was not clearer to them, Rachel Lomasky in particular. The last words of James Pethokoukis’s essay will serve as a good way to start clarifying. Although he concedes that there is a dystopian streak in the thought of some of the most enthusiastic promoters of AI, he denies that their vision will wholly guide the development of this technology.

In an era of collapsing public trust in institutions, many Americans are left asking who really governs us and if perpetual dysfunction is the new normal. Can America’s heritage of self-government be restored, or is that legacy just another high-water mark in the history of the West? In his essay “AI, Governance, and Our ‘Utopian’ Future,” Charles T. Rubin wonders what kind of political framework is motivating federal DOGE efforts and what direction Trump’s presidency portends for America.

In his forum lead, Charles T. Rubin worries that turning human governance over to artificial general intelligence (AGI) will cause immense problems. The world, in particular the United States, has many incompetent government officials. We don’t need to worry, though, that soon some of them will be robot overlords—that technology is nowhere in sight.

Talking about artificial intelligence (AI) and governance at this particular moment is a daunting task. The capacities of AI are changing rapidly. While it is very likely we are in the midst of a hype cycle with respect to how reliable and useful AI can be today, the current large language models still have some impressive capacities. Everyone seems to expect more and better to come rapidly, either on the basis of those models or some other paradigm of AI.

The American dream has always meant living in our own fantasy worlds. Maybe it’s time to really go for it.
