I don't see anything there that uniquely qualifies him to be an expert on this matter.

- He popularized the term 'virtual reality' in the late 80s,

- Did a bunch of stuff with music

- Spent a whole lot of time warning against social media

- Spent a whole lot of time warning against what I consider to be the best parts of the internet like Wikipedia

I’ve seen many of the very best AI scientists (Hinton, Hasabis, Lecun, etc) say that we need philosophers and ethicists deeply involved on this topic urgently. I think a guy like Lanier, who knows CS fundamentals but has been talking about the ethics and impact of different digital creations for decades, is a pretty good guy to have on team humanity, no?
