What you leave out is that every major technological evolution has also come with significant negative societal effects until humankind has regulated its worst uses. For example, labor and safety laws for factories; regulatory agencies for food and drug mass manufacturing; road and safety laws for the internal combustion engine; medical regulatory agencies at the advent of medicine and surgery. The list goes on and on.

My concern is the various thought that has to go into making AI safe and a net good for society has not yet happened and a lot of people are going to be hurt along the way until it is.
