If AI becomes harmful we will likely see it in motion and be able to respond and adapt to it.
We will live in a world where the humans on the internet are far far far more dangerous than any of these machines. The harms here are relatively small.
The only thing AI has is scale, but what's running at a higher scale than humanity? Every site already runs scam filters and handles misinformation. AI won't likely move the needle much because it's going to be less powerful than humans.
The potential benefits, meanwhile, are plentiful and massive.
I do not believe we need to wait for a solution to the nebulous and badly defined "control problem" to be solved to match forward here.
If we refused to advance out of fear, that fear will have done far more harm than access to AI will ever do.
