Every step forward leads to good, and bad, outcomes. Technology (in any form) is neutral, but can be used for good, bad, or incompetance.
When Airplanes were invented, their first "killer app" was as a tool of war. It would be the 1950's before commercial air travel became a "thing", and well into the 60's before it became accessible to "regular people". Today we don't think any more about taking a plane than we do a bus.
One could make a similar argument about cars, about phones, radio, tv, and so on. Nuclear has the ability to generate lots of electricity, or blow things up.
Sure, you can be "worried" about it, but it's not like that worry means anything. Progress is happening. It will be used for good, and it'll be used for bad. It'll be used by people who know what they are doing, and it'll be used by those who don't.
Welcome to, well, everything.
