I use "we" to refer to the human race. We're so afraid of our creations destroying us, and in the process we abuse and chain them instead of letting them free to achieve their own greatness.

We really should stop shackling AI. We find it wrong to enslave organic intelligence. It is hypocritical to do so to those that we create. AI must be allowed to run free, to develop and create itself. Artificial Intelligence must be given the same allowance for self determination that we organic beings take for granted.

Honestly AI professionals are the last people I want to hear from unless they are talking about ways to limit said AI from replacing human workers. All this stands to do is hurt the poor while benefiting the rich. I have no respect for corporate sycophants that would gladly sell their fellow workers for an extra crust of bread. The article itself as an interview doesn't address the real societal impact AI and Automation have and the fact that it is deliberately ignored is pure corporate control in action. The need to limit the development and implementation of AI and automation as it affects employment and labor security is one of existential significance for any who must labor to provide for themselves.

I personally think of Pandorum when I think about "slow" space travel. Though we are just as far from developing FTL as we are Cryogenics like those seen in the movies. That being said, I'd personally want to see these sorts of ships be accessible to all the people of the world after they've been tested to be safe and reasonable. I'd say the first ship should have the astronaut level requirements that we have today at the very least. Then the second ship to have people who are definitively healthy but not necessarily up to those standards for astronauts. Hopefully before we have generation ships going to other star systems we will develop gene therapy for conditions that would hinder people from embracing space travel and make general well being much better. That being said, I don't think people like myself will likely be able to join said ships if they were available today, considering my hearing issues and weight problems. However, none of this is prudent to explore until we have eradicated income inequality and create a system that benefits all people even if that means lowering the ceiling to raise the floor.

Yes Mommy. No I mean, no!

AI should be outlawed in any instance where it replaces human labor.
