Artificial intelligence not just a *future tense* challenge for society. There are present tense concerns and past tense contexts to draw from.https://twitter.com/Mantia/status/1013559718759956481 …

Also a lot of these things are for society to discuss, with ethics, philosophy, etc, not just engineering and science... And it'd for us all to decide what is and isn't ok and we should demand that.

I think a lot of folks got seduced by the Superintelligence thesis because it’s very sexy but unfortunately it’s so far from reality people think AI will only happen decades from now.

I feel that's actually highly related but a parallel issue. Even if super human intelligent system were theoretically possible, they'd need to be defined for me to say if they are anyway, it's still the same debate really as with less intelligent agents.

Less to do with the plausibility of what Bostrom offers, more to do with the viral TED talk and the bestseller. I think this was a tipping point in non-academic engagement with AI. This is the most cited literature I hear about from folks outside the field.

Ah, you mean they claim that a super human intelligent system is on the near horizon not don't really know what they are talking about?
-
I think any claims about the future of humanity have to be grounded in an understanding of humanity. Unfortunately the theory is very limited to a small segment of humanity (doesn’t cover analysis of race, class, gender, or even different cultures). It falls short.

Exactly — well put!
