I just stumbled upon a good way to answer the question "are you afraid of AI?" from folks who are less technically inclined.
Ask them if they consider the daily weather report “artificial intelligence" and if they fear it.
Same thing: a bunch of real world inputs that yield a prediction that may be right or wrong. There may be a tornado - or maybe just cloudy.
Of course, if we place to much reliance on those predictions things can go haywire.
