I haven't seen any backlash about AI being used to detect diseases better/sooner.
The fact that we see a backlash about something that treats humans as an API, and don't see a backlash about something that helps all humans, seems like there is no prevailing innovation-phobic attitude. No?
The industrial robots taking jobs thing is at least pragmatic to discuss - we could just accept the capitalistic inevitability of it, or we could talk about ways to move the human workforce on to other tasks.
