IJCAI-73 devoted three sessions to the aspects of AI funding, applications, and impact. In addition, one paper (Firschein, et al, 1973) described a Delphi study of plausible AI applications and their possible impacts. I'd like to share some of my reflections on this timely burst of attention devoted to these social concerns.
