It's inevitable that automation will have it's fatalities.
We can claim it's not robots killing people; it's people killing people because they decided to use the robot.
That's specious. We have something resembling a free market world. Anybody 'deciding' to not use automation (or AI or whatever) will be outcompeted by folks using the cheaper alternative. The playing field inevitably will become robot and AI dominated.
Make all the regulations we want; money will force the issue. As long as they don't egregiously slaughter people they will win.
Like slavery and indentured servitude before, and removal of indigenous populations, and exploitation of natural resources. The tragedy of the commons or something similar, where you have to join the throng or be outcompeted and your efforts extinguished. Only efficient market competitors can possibly survive.
All the rest is philosophy (sophistry?)
