Computer Science is a much bigger field than it once was. There are many aspects where compsi is useful from a interdisciplinary point of view, and this imho, entails working with researchers from different specific areas. You shouldn't expect a computer scientist to deeply understand sociological/psycological/philosophical questions, but they can and should to some degree identify where knowledge from other fields is important. My understanding is that they are not asking researchers to predict the future (although this is apparently what the interviewee imply), but simply identify that there might be (societal) consequences, good or bad. This is why in areas like social robotics and HRI you will find more and more articles that are written by researches from different areas. E.g. a Computer Scientist and a Psychologist.
