I haven't read Kasparov's book and the short article doesn't really dive deep into it so I can only comment on the BBC soundbite...
If people are "pushing back against AI", it's not the progress of technology they're against -- it's the economic consequences. People are worried about joblessness and no financial security for retirement.
It's similar to saying "embrace outsourcing because you get cheaper products" or "embrace H1B because America was built on immigrants and their skills".
You can't just speak of those aspirations as general platitudes without being aware of what the real worries are. People aren't xenophobic -- they just want to keep their livelihoods.
If you don't address the commoner's concerns, you'll be perceived as disingenuous.
