I remember exploring some neural network programming applications pre-consumer internet (1988-1989).

The down side of AI was never considered. Perhaps because back then any real applications seemed so far off.

That fact, alone, might indicate it will be wise not to dismiss the potential dangers.

P.S. I also remember that in 1984, the fastest computer that China was allowed to purchase was the Mindset PC-Clone because it used an 80186 running at 6mhz. They were not allowed to import the IBM AT because it ran an 80286 at 8mhz! Times sure have changed!!!
