    My current lifegoal is spreading realistic nightmares... so that we can stop or slow them. :-) That’s how and why I consider myself an optimist despite my gloomy topics of study. #moralsmachineshttps://twitter.com/iri_kalinka/status/1012356418639458304 …

        My talk was in another nice old church venue that was fairly sparse because.. it was bombed to bits in World War II. Look, if Europe can build what it has built after centuries of war and destruction, our challenge is more than doable. Question of effort and political will.pic.twitter.com/Ylw8bqq0Nz

        Unrealistic #AI nightmares typically begin from assumption that problem is technology is "too smart," whereas realistic AI nightmares begin from assumption that AI application is "too stupid" &, as human tools, improvable to human purposes. @zeynep is right to be optimistic.

        When big names talk about the inevitability of the singularity (whatever that is) it sometimes dominates the discussion about AI. Whether it's a distraction or really a concern I don't know. But it definitely doesn't have anything to do with today's misapplications of tech.

        The opposite of these "realistic nightmares" are what @dcbrock termed "wishful worries" - improbable scenarios of the future that distract us from real problems - at our recent 4th Industrial Revolution workshop

        With our real nightmares, I don't read or watch horror & the movies seem almost endearing. This administration slaughters globally; has ICE kidnap children; kills at least thousands of us annually by blocking healthcare; allows escalating data breaches... https://www.marketwatch.com/story/a-new-data-breach-may-have-exposed-personal-information-of-almost-every-american-adult-2018-06-27 …

        one must be careful in the "age of imagination" all my 90s satiric fiction became reality within 25 years. today's Black Mirror episode is already funded by VCs. Most horrors already cued up toe be released on the "open web" or a partners "app store" ;)
