The tricky part is as a society, we haven't trained many people for jobs where you build sociotechnical systems: processes and systems that have a major human element in it, and a major automated/computation element in it.
We have computer scientists who can make robust pure software systems with theoretical guarantees, and work well at scale. And we have political and administrative professionals who can converge on decisions and policies with actors with different motivations and rationality. But it's hard to do both really well at the same time, especially on the first try.
