Anil DashI've been trying to find a name or descriptor for people who I think are looking at "AI" broadly and soberly, with a genuinely objective perspective and information that's not captured by the big tech companies but also fluent in the technology behind it. ( @simon would be the exemplar here.) What would you call this cohort? Because I think it's sort of a community without a name, which limits its impact.

Framkly, there is no such thing as a pure "objective" viewpoint without narrowing the question. "Is marmite good" is not a question that can be answered objectively.
You CAN answer a question like: "do current AI coding methods create product of equivalent quality to humans with less effort", if you define all your terms usefully and use only well-conducted studies instead of expert opinion. But even then the answer is unlikely to be purely objective.
