I think mathematicians and statisticians are hard to flummox but the risk with non-mathematically trained people such as philosophers and psychologists is that they can be sidetracked easily by vague and insinuating language that allows them to "fill-in" the gaps. They need an unbiased "interpreter" of what the tech actually does (or can do) and that might be hard to come by.
I would add political scientists and economists to the list. Not that I have particular faith in their track record solving any problem, but conceptually this is also their responsibility and privilege: technology reshapes society and the economy and we need to have a mature and open discussion about it.
