ROTA: There is danger that a new profession will come into existence, the AI specialist. People who work with computers will have to hire an AI expert, like they keep a physician, a lawyer. It will be a self-perpetuating profession lacking an adequate scientific base. These people might come to control a great deal of power under the aegis of the computer. Beware!
"Mathematics, Philosophy, and Artificial Intelligence", a dialogue with Gian-Carlo Rota and David Sharp (1985)
