It's like guns. They aren't inherently evil. There are many reasonable, acceptable uses for guns. But they can be misused with catastropic results.
That's why there are/were gun laws. Unfortunately, many of those laws have been removed, and we see the results of that bad decision every day.
AI hasn't seen any laws to rein in it's blatant misuse. The longer we don't confront this issue, the more AI will be used to support the ends of the people who created, or use it.

Unregulated AI in the wrong hands is essentially a loaded gun that can do immense harm to people and the nation.
