   I just  ran across a new  science-fiction novel, "The Next Dominant
Species," which has an AI theme.  If you think  the Great Nineties Job
Drought is bad, wait till Wall Street starts replacing workers with AI
Machines.  Will  the  advent of  real AI  introduce a golden   age for
mankind?   Or lead to the  oppression of the  many by Harvard Business
School yuppies and wealthy stockholders?  Or worse?
   These are good  scenarios for drama,  but bad for public support of
fundamental AI research.  I hope the politicians don't read it.  We've
got enough problems already.
