You bring up the problem so many of us have with discussing issues at the micro level. I see the discussion of AI follow similar lines as the GMO debate. We often don't ask ourselves how these technologies play a part in a more larger system that appears to reward the concentration of power and Technics. Instead of asking ourselves if these things are innately good I feel that we ought to be asking ourselves what problems are we attempting to solve and how these technologies can affect those changes and if they are the best solutions.
