It's down to how it's used and whether or not it's an efficient or worthwhile use of resources.

For the many positive things A.I. can or could do, the negatives are bound up into many concerns or considerations;

  Will the products be better or substantially better given the A.I's overall cost?

  Down the track will it make things on average cheaper?

  How soon before much of it's use is primarily monitoring people online and off ... and then just how long before  everyone will be expected to have a 24 hr a day/ all year long  A.I. buddy / minder / nanny / *cop*  just like the tech tools presently expect everyone has to have a mobile phone?


AI is very useful, but for the amount of data centres planned, people are asking what possible additional legitimately beneficial usage can there be waiting in the wings - there is great scepticism that it's more likely an elaborate path to make a small group of people filthy rich.
