What is Jevons’ Paradox? And why it may—or may not—predict AI’s future
0

In 1865, William Stanley Jevons first described a paradox. He maintained that more efficient steam engines would not decrease the use of coal in British factories but would actually increase it. As the fossil fuel became cheaper, demand for the resource would grow, leading to the construction of more engines.In 1865, William Stanley Jevons first described a paradox.
