"The emerging field of artificial intelligence (AI) risks provoking a public backlash as it increasingly falls into private hands, threatens people’s jobs, and operates without effective oversight or regulatory control, leading experts in the technology warn." (The Guardian.)
leading experts in the technology - a subject (noun phrase);
warn - a predicator (main verb);
The emerging field of artificial intelligence (AI) risks provoking a public backlash as it increasingly falls into private hands, threatens people’s jobs, and operates without effective oversight or regulatory control - the direct object (a clause which is the part of predicate).
Is my understanding of syntax in the cited sentence correct?
------------
It doesn't seem to me that The emerging field of artificial intelligence (AI) risks provoking a public backlash as it increasingly falls into private hands, threatens people’s jobs, and operates without effective oversight or regulatory control is the cited statement of "leading experts in the technology". I see it rather as a view supported by the body of leading experts, not a quotation; the view passed by the author of the cited sentence.
