What's with the STEM reference? Are you implying that STEM is related to intelligence and that people without a STEM background are not intelligent?
It is well known among academics (AKA STEM MAJORS) that human society is a chaotic system and that ML can change society for the better or for the worse... the outcome is basically unknown... It is therefore the intelligent choice to consider the negative consequences of this technology.
To not consider the other side indicates a lack of something.
