The Q.s behind Artificial Intelligence & associated technologies are these:
Can we trust, and should we deploy a technology built on the organised theft of (intellectual) property?
Is AI's original sin actually an indicator of how dangerously disruptive it will actually be?
And as UK politicians (hello Liz Kendall) become cheerleaders for AI, are we merely colluding with a major process of enclosure, intended to further concentrate wealth in the hands of the few?
