Alain, when I tried to get into detail with Jed, the subject had already changed, at least in my mind. But, implementing AI, for me,is one capable of understanding contexts, is different from any type of technology we know it. It is not a mere aide to human skills, this time is really erasing the human part from the equation. So, what I tried to argue, being optimistic perhaps, it is that AI is not so devastating because it is simply not AI proper. It is rather a misnomer for techniques that allow some simple activities to be done by a automatically.
The strong AI which I am really scared of, is such that even innovation centers you mention would be soon made useless, since AI would be able to do that. These people would be really be left to poverty and there would be no interest in bringing anything to them.
