“at what point are we ready to let the algorithm start doing some things on its own that maybe we are or aren’t comfortable with.”

Remind me again how many wars the US has started under false pretenses? How many groups the CIA has trained in torture? Napalm, MKUltra, Henry Kissinger, support for various fascist and apartheid regimes…
Even Hitler was inspired by the US’s successful genocide of the indigenous population. Not to mention slavery!
The US has absolutely no moral high ground from which to preach.
