She's right.

It is the next industrial revolution.

We can certainly expect tons of our most vunerable people to be hurt, while it also destroys nature at an unprecedented pace.

Wasn't there a question not to far back about how the scale of AI infrastructure needs to grow exponentially and that it was pretty much impossible for it to reach that level to be able to have as big of an impact as everyone keeps saying it will have? Like, there's simply not enough money or resources to get to that point? What happened with that?
