What AI research barely talks about

This field writes about itself optimistically: 79.8% of India-affiliated research here reads as a breakthrough or a promise, against 10.2% that raises a problem or a warning — 7.8 optimistic papers for every critical one. So the concerns below have to be counted directly — reading the most common topics would bury them.
