What does “good” coverage of AI mean to you? I wrote about how the disparate views that very smart people have about existential risk are making it hard to calibrate how to cover advancements in artificial intelligence.

@caseynewton to me it means listening to folks like @timnitGebru and @emilymbender that focuses on concrete real world issues. Coverage of rich people worried about AI being smarter than humans is a distraction and a disservice unless it's to highlight how ridiculous these people are.
Policy discussions, union discussions, worker protections, exploitation of English speaking poor countries are all interesting.

Digging into Microsoft saying they're doing a careful rollout and then adding it to multiple products in the span of a month, Bing, Skype, edge afaik
