In The Tech Coup, Marietje Schaake explains how technology companies crept into nearly every corner of our lives and our governments.

Two of the biggest design problems in Artificial Intelligence are how to build robots that behave in line with human values and how to stop them ever going rogue. One under-explored solution to these alignment and control problems might be to examine how these are already addressed in the design of humans.

It places our 'junk code' in this context and argues that it is time to foreground that code, and to use it to look again at how we are programming AI.
