Sometimes the biggest disasters aren't noticed at all โ no one's around to write horror stories.
IA is something that is proceeding very naturally, in most cases not even recognized by its developers for what it is.
Poor humans; they will all die.""Poor us; we will not.
How to explain? How to describe? Even the omniscient viewpoint quails.
Note that I am not proposing that AI research be ignored or less funded.
I am suggesting that we recognize that in network and interface research there is something as profound (and potential wild) as Artificial Intelligence.
