Turismperspektivet är en bra ingång för att förstå vårt samhälle, skriver Malin Zillinger i tidskriften Organisation & Samhälle.

Can AI think? The short answer is no, at least not in the way humans think. AI does not have incentives, opinions, or empathy. Even two-year-olds possess something that our artificial systems lack – the capacity to think in terms of cause and effect, according to Peter Gärdenfors, professor of Cognitive Science at Lund University.
