I worked on CNNs in Japan during the AI winter and then later on DARPA/CALO (which several years later morphed into Siri.) When I got to Amazon, I begged the powers that be to avoid projects that replace humans and think about projects that augment humans. This was a decade ago and Amazon kept hiring UoW researchers who would come in, over-promise and under-deliver and then go back to academia after they collected sufficient data for their next paper.
I don't claim to be an expert, but you don't have to be an expert to properly evaluate risk.
