No, we can't. People have never been able to trust each other so much that they would allow the risk of being marginalised in the name of safety. We don't trust people. Other people are out to get us, or to get ahead. We still think mostly in tribal logic. If they say "safety" we hear "we want to get an edge by hindering you", or "we want to protect our nice social position by blocking others who would use AI to bootstrap themselves". Or "we want AI to misrepresent your position because we don't like how you think". We are adversaries that collaborate and compete at the same time. That is why open source AI is the only way ahead, it places the least amount of control on some people by other people. Even AI safety experts accept that humans misusing AI is a more realistic scenario than AI rebelling against humans. The main problem is that we know how people think and we don't trust them. We are still waging holy wars between us.
