This is where it all comes back to the old "good guy with a gun" argument.

There is a very, very big difference between "tool with all of human knowledge that you can ask anything to" and "tool you can kill people with".

What would that help? Counter mad-men with too powerful weapons is difficult and often lead to war. Classic wars or software/DDoS/virus wars or robot wars or whatever.

You can use AI to fact-check and filter malicious content. (Which would lead to another problem, which is... who fact-checks the AI?)

I’m thinking of AI trained to coordinate cybersecurity attacks. If the solution is to deeply integrate AI into your networks and give it access to all of your accounts to perform real-time counter operations, well, that makes me pretty skittish about the future.
