    • Michael I. Jordan characterizes AI doomsday warnings as a 'grand moralizing performance' lacking scientific basis, attributing panic to the conceptual inflation from AI to AGI to Superintelligence.
    • He emphasizes that enterprise applications do not require general superintelligence; integrating open-weight models with local domain knowledge enables high-quality deployment without relying on massive data centers.
    • Jordan warned as early as 2019 that the reckless overuse of the term 'AI' would lead to current hysteria, calling for a return to rational technical evaluation based on statistical learning and practical utility.
