The analysis shows that many (but not all) of the negative consequences of artificial intelligence can be avoided. The author warns, however, against the messianic expectations of some computer-apostles, who provide us with a misleading and potentially dangerous picture of the alleged blessings of artificial intelligence. %U https://www.aup-online.com/content/journals/10.5117/NTT1993.3.004.WILL
