Philosopher and data-privacy scholar Carissa Véliz criticizes NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang: "Huang thought that every problem was merely an engineering challenge. He was wrong," adding that people like Huang are the ones "we are asking to act as Oracles, to predict our future" — questioning the concentration of power over humanity's trajectory in tech leaders. The post promotes her newly available book in the US and UK.
