Why Should People With the Least Technical Understanding Have the Most Power Over Transformative AI?

One thing that really bothers me about the future of AI is this: The people who actually move technology forward are usually the ones with rare minds, deep knowledge, and the kind of work ethic needed to build something new. People like Alan Turing, Geoffrey Hinton, Yann LeCun, Demis Hassabis, Ilya Sutskever, Fei-Fei Li, Dario Amodei, and many others helped shape AI through real ideas, real research, and years of serious work.
