Yeah, it's going to disrupt almost everything and bring in new threats.If you're thinking about how AI is going to affect people on the other side of the political aisle, you're not thinking anywhere near big enough. AI and nanotechnology have the potential to more or less completely solve the fundamental economic problem of scarcity, which is really the thing that drives almost every form of social organization for the past several thousand years. They also have the potential to drive humanity to extinction. The outcome of this process, at least at some point, isn't likely to be a slightly-more-blue or slightly-more-red version of the status quo.
I thought that this aspect was the most accessible at the current time, especially with the national debate on healthcare and entitlement reform still pretty fresh, where many on the right closely link a person's value to society with how productive they are. Certainly agree that the potential impact of all of this doesn't stop there by any means.
I think people will look back and be able to put the starting point of this shift several years ago, and while it may not feel that we're deep into it right now, it seems relatively clear that we're on the automation spectrum...even though many folks believe it's a problem of the future. It's a problem now, and we've only scratched the surface of its disruptive capabilities.
