Concerns about AI

$\text{AI}$ is now discussed frequently in the media. Many of these reports seem to focus largely on concerns about and potential dangers of this technology or the imagined technologies. It is important for any scientific discipline to discuss the relationship new technologies and sciences may have with our society. New technologies have always forced us to reflect on this, and it is not limited to $\text{AI}$. Inventions such as explosives, genetic interventions, and computers have profound consequences for our society and environment. Discussion of the impact of technology should cover as broad a social span as possible.
