CSET’s Helen Toner shared her expert perspective in an article published by TIME. The article examines common misconceptions about artificial intelligence in 2025, including claims that AI progress is stalling, that self-driving cars are inherently more dangerous than human drivers, and that AI systems cannot produce genuinely new knowledge.
Addressing uncertainty around AI’s trajectory, Toner noted, “Maybe AI will keep getting better and maybe AI will keep sucking in important ways,” while emphasizing that claims of stalled progress are difficult to justify given recent advances.
