> Why blame people? We may call this line of thinking an “agentic shift,” a term.. from #StanleyMilgram to name the process whereby humans transfer responsibility for an outcome from themselves to a more abstract agent. When this happens, we have relinquished control, which in the case of #TheComputer [#AI] means that we may, without excessive remorse, pursue ill-advised or even #InhumanGoals because the computer can accomplish them or be imagined to accomplish them.
