Humanity has a fair history of introducing products that are later shown to have large externalized costs: tetraethyl lead, PVC, etc. I interpret your point to be that publicly investigating the harm of future products---by the only people who can do so---is a bad idea. What is the alternative? Regulation? (Gasp!) Perhaps we should start the disinformation campaigns before the products are developed. "If you are arrested on AI-provided evidence, you are guilty. Period."
