this article contains some reasonable points about problems caused both by concrete advances in AI and by rhetoric about AI used to justify the decisions of the powerful. the focus is especially on AI-based end-user technology being sold to consumers and institutions.

it seems to miss the point that some members of the university community may actually do research on AI, and may not feel inclined to ask for approval from the “People’s Council” to get permission to think about concepts in statistics, computer science, or decision theory.
