Noone is disputing that AI can have benefits in fields like medicine, not even Oliver on the prior page.
The point Oliver was making is that examples like benefits in medicine are held up to coopt public opinion, enabling a broadly unregulated AI revolution that has many detrimental societal consequences.
It is clear that there is widespread public concern over AI, and certainly no consent. If we lived in democratic societies there would be effective public consultation and meaningful regulation, and a freeze on most, if not all, AI development until that was concluded and implemented.
The idea that tech CEOs can self-regulate in coordination with governments is both laughable and profoundly anti-democratic.
