WHY on earth would we let "AI systems" we don't understand control powerful things we care about. We should criticize the human, politician, or organization that enabled that
Why? Because the man-made horrors beyond mortal comprehension seem to bring in the money, so far. Because the society we're in is used to mere compensation and prison time being suitable results from poor decisions leading to automations exploding in people's faces (literally or metaphorically), not things that can eat everyone.
And then there's the cases of hubris where people only imagine they understand the powerful thing, but they don't, like Chernobyl exploding and basically every time someone is hacked or defrauded.
