Wish I could upvote this more. >I feel alone and misunderstood in my own field, philosophy. For example, I was told today that talking about pressing problems in AI technologies while leaving out the issue of superintelligent machines is negligent and irresponsible. >Not only does this way of thinking hurt the philosophical field, but focusing on these sci-fi issues only perpetuates the collective panic that exists around these technologies while neglecting their actual risks. >Because in the meantime, AI systems exist, are pervasive, and pose countless ethical and social justice questions. Philosophers, do interdisciplinary research and help your colleagues find specific issues on which to focus.
