Template:DocumentInfobox From an interview with a protester outside the Institute for Applied Noematics:

Q: So why did you join this protest?

A: Artificial intelligence is inherently dangerous to this planet's ecosystem. Defending that ecosystem is our responsibility.

Q: In which way is artificial intelligence dangerous?

A: I'm not some paranoid idiot imagining Skynet taking over the world, all right? That's science fiction. But what we're talking about here is an artificial intelligence without any of the attachment we have to the natural world. It is not capable of distinguishing between, say, an ore and a tree. Everything's just resources to it. People like Sarabhai or Drennan talk about ethics and philosophy but they all embrace the same extractivist ethos that has brought us to the brink of disaster. Their "intelligent" being would try to optimize the world in its image, and in so doing consume it.

Q: But so far they're saying it's all theoretical.

A: The atom bomb was theoretical at first too. Once something is there, someone's going to use it.
