      AI has hit mainstream. I'm often asked if I'd interview for yet another documentary on AI. Sounds good at first but most of them seem stuck in the la-la-land meets Terminator track. Meanwhile—on Planet Earth—Dept. of Homeland Security will soon mass-deploy face-recognition AI.🙄

      The real questions about the age of machine intelligence are at the intersection of the mundane and the novel: the intersection of politics and power as it exists and the evolving machine capabilities. That's interesting. That's important. And that's what needs attention.

      I mean, I love science fiction. Part-geek here! I do like those conversations about singularity, humanoid robots, AI run amok.. But those are fun conversations, not realistic, critical analyses of what we are facing and must address *now*.

      So "criticism" is a distant AI-apocalypse where AI runs away from us, rather than power incorporating AI into its operation—what's actualy happening. And "optimism" seems to be mostly about more efficient businesses! Former is bypassing real threat, latter is pitifully narrow.🙄

          I understand that digital sociology has to be solving problems, and that being broader systems defects. But when you ALWAYS CRITICIZE progress in AI as a potential problem to be slowed and analyzed forever, you lose relevance to guide AI. So POSITIVITY is very much welcomed!!

          Totally. In the UK, working with a legislator pressed government to confirm that law from 1974 covers much AI workplace safety. It’s this dull stuff that counts.https://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-question/Lords/2018-05-23/HL8200/ …
