Insert any <major issue> in place of AI here and you will also get a truth. We are about as likely to get a sophisticated debate on AI as other issues. The best strategy here is to fall in with whatever unsophisticated line of argument is closest to your thinking. Better to say that AI poses no immediate harm or future danger than to try and explain something along the lines of "well it's probably better if systems with emergent behavior we don't fully understand are brought online by interests in relatively liberal and democratic places..." and so on.
