I'm not sure this is entirely fair. Nobody elected the people who inspect nuclear powerplants either, but I still assume that they're doing a good job in protecting humanity. Even if they are possibly "highly priviledged".

Inspecting a powerplant does not grant you any actual influence beyond powerplant inspection. Defining the ethics of AI will potentially let you influence almost all aspects of our lives.

I assume nuclear powerplants are regulated by some entity.

Unfortunately in many industries, companies are allowed to regulate/inspect themselves. Because they supposedly have more experience with it than the government, and it saves on government spending.
