[ExI] Precautionary Principle rearing its ugly head

Given the prominence of this entry, I'm wondering if some members of this
list might like to put in a well-researched response letter, for instance
pointing out what has historically happened when people tried halting or
slowing technological development to ask questions like these.

For particular example, asking if AI is "reversible" means to ask if people
can be forced to unlearn what AI might inform them of.  (What other logical
conclusion of "reversible" AI could there be, given its most famous use
right now?)  The problems with getting social/political approval to force
people to unlearn things apparently need explaining.
