Like all things we should take caution with how we embrace new advancements. There is a history of humans screwing ourselves up in the name of progress(mercury & lead poisoning,asbestos & iridium usage, even sand in bread in ancient Egypt)
Can we shy away from these advancements in the name of safety? No-that is not how progress is made. What the critical point is that we should be more careful in vetting how we as society do/deal with things without the influence of money or power. This maybe a far-fetched utopia delusion but the only thing that will keep us from wiping ourselves out as a species. The world is getting smaller and the actions of a few are affecting more and more everyday.
Heck, ask a AWS engineer to go pull a plug somewhere. Watch the tech world burn.
