I hate this attitude that ethics and philosophy are "bullshit jobs". At the same time Americans hate any government regulation and are in the process of tearing government's regulatory capacity apart. So all we're left with is the greediest people in the world throwing a nuclear bomb into the machinery of society and everybody else throwing up their hands hoping we're not headed to a The Terminator type future.

They are bullshit jobs.

If you want to evaluate danger in a certain domain, hire or contract people in that domain to evaluate.

If you want someone to push their own ideological leanings onto a model, hire a self proclaimed ethicist.
