The safety conscious amongst us don't think "it will be evil", they think "what does it take to be absolutely sure that no bad outcomes can happen" in the same way we build bridges, cars, planes, firewalls, new medicines. The burden of proof is typically on those that introduce a new medicine, not the FDA. AI will be riskier than medicines because medicines can't think. Personally I don't want us all hiding in fear and not trying anything, but I do think that we're either going to walk into this thing with a hacker mentality, or an engineer mentality. The former is great for moving fast and breaking things, but the latter is safer when you're playing with a one-way "this changes everything forever" technology.
