"AI Safety" (as defined by clients' corporate leadership being able to say "Yes, this AI is safe for us to use and won't cause repetitional harm to our company"

"AI Safety" (as defined by clients' corporate leadership being able to say "Yes, this AI is safe for us to use and won't cause repetitional harm to our company") is both worthwhile to approximate, but impossible to achieve.
There exists content which will offend some important constituencies if the content is generated, but it will offend other important constituencies if the content cannot be generated.
I think a huge part of "AI Safety" (as I defined it above) has to involve driving society towards a consensus on what content they should expect AI's will generate vs. will not generate. It's more okay if people are not happy about it, if they are also not surprised by it and it doesn't generate newsworthy headlines because the behavior is expected and mundane.
