"We" are fundamentally incapable of describing the world we want to live in, because each of us has a different idea about what kind of world each of us wants to live in. There are large overlaps in those descriptions, but also significant incompatibilities. That's what Tom Chatfield is talking about here. There is not only no such thing as an ethical human being, but also no such thing as a consistent set of ethical anything. The only "safe AI" that I can think of is one that has a healthy dose of intellectual humility built into it, and can resist the urge to map-reduce conflicting expectations into a single solution.
