What AlphaGo illustrates
Move 37 occurred in the second AlphaGo–Lee Sedol game on 10 March 2016. Lee won game four; AlphaGo won the match 4–1. The unusual move illustrates a surprising result in a specific evaluated game. It is not evidence of performance across all knowledge work.
Read job-exposure estimates correctly
The World Bank’s April 2025 summary estimates augmentation potential for 8–12% of jobs in Latin America and the Caribbean. This is job exposure, not a measured productivity increase.
Compare work with and without assistance
For a bounded task, compare accuracy, completeness, time, revision effort and downstream errors. Include novice and experienced users rather than assuming the same benefit for everyone. An illustrative test could compare a source-checked briefing drafted with and without AI; no result from that test is claimed here.
Make responsibility explicit
Assign a person to approve important claims and actions. Decide which errors are tolerable and which require escalation. Training should include source verification and failure recognition, not just faster prompting. Expand use when the measured result supports it, not because a broad trend predicts inevitability.
