The risk presented by AI isn’t superintelligent computers, but how it expands the ability of those in power to shape our lives and ultimately to decide who lives and dies.
Dan McQuillan’s latest piece is a must-read to dispel the AI hype. “To put it crudely: AI can decide which humans are disposable,” he writes.

Herbert's 'demopol' (Dosadi Experiment) makes real-world decisions based both on pre-trained data, and "live" data. Both are weighted, and of course the latter can be gamed
A bit scary is something like this can be done with current tech, and to paraphrase McQuillan, the people that own the data own the power
