> 9. technological autonomy - reliance on automation can backfire if systems become misaligned to human needs
Our economical system is already by and large autonomous and misaligned to our needs, there are humans in the loop but they view the world through symbols. I'm not sure a radically more autonomous technological agent would make any difference...

This necessarily limits the breadth of their understanding. I hope that automated systems can be engineered to better handle deep dependency chains of abstractions to better sort out complicated topics.
