The World’s First 3D-Printed Village Is Coming to Latin America This Summer:
https://www.dwell.com/article/3d-printed-village-yves-behar-icon-new-story-c56ded54This US company is developing a giant 3D printer, cool. Then they sell their tech by talking about a utopian, emotional vision of "the developing world can have little houses just like the US ones" and announce their pilot project, a 3d printed village in South America (why not in the US, not enough homeless? Why little houses? Urban trends go in a really different direction). Good example of the extrem stupidity and arrogance that the US (automation) industry is displaying left and right.

It is interesting to think about how primary efforts in the AI industry - Self-Driving Cars & AI Healthcare - are tightly coupled to US socio-political realities. In the EU, existing effective public transport & public healthcare systems make the case for AI interventions much weaker.
