I wonder if you'd be this dismissive if an autonomous car kills your parents or children, and you'll still advocate "don't put anyone in jail".
Just wondering.

Probably not but statistically I'm vastly more likely to be pissed off by a human driver killing them. I think in the last year the numbers killed were approx a million by humans, one or two by self driving cars. If the percentage killed by self driving cars gets over 0.1% I'll worry about it.

AI for business is about saving money. Can AI help business save money by reducing those pesky meat bags called employees. Yes, yes it can. And that's all that matters. And it will be doing more of that in years to come. There is nothing that can be done to stop this or slow it down. Meat bags are much more expensive than bolt bags.

A lot of business AI so far has been more about targeting content / ads for what that's worth. The meat bags may get redeployed to some extent as the buggy whip makers and peasant farmers were.
3) When something goes wrong, such as a car crash... who do you put in jail?
2) "The Consumer Doesn’t Want It" - eg clippy, automated call centers
1) "AI is a make believe world populated by mad people, and nobody wants to be part of it" - it's all a cult
Which is all a bit silly - 3) you don't put anyone in jail, you work on the algorithms to reduce our existing 1m+ road deaths a year 2) There's some crap but people like Amazon Echo and I want my self driving car and 1) hardly dignifies a reply.
Meanwhile in 2016, computers mastered Go, the tools became good enough that the likes of Zuck and GeoHot could make somewhat functional Jarvis like assistants or self driving cars in a few months hacking and IDC are predicting the "AI Market is projected to grow from $8 billion today to $47 billion by 2020."
