There's some interesting information and analysis to start off this essay, then it ends with:
"These machines will soon become the beating hearts of the society in which we live. The social and political structures they create as they compose and interact with each other will define everything we see around us."
This sounds like an article of faith to me. One could just as easily say they won't become the beating hearts of anything, and instead we'll choose to continue to build a better future for humans, as humans, without relying on an overly-hyped technology rife with error and unethical implications.
