It’s just not acceptable to create situations where the threat of catastrophic outcomes is ever present. Intelligence, life, raw power—these are not playthings, and should be treated with the respect, care, and control they deserve. Technologists and the general public alike will have to accept greater levels of oversight and regulation than have ever been the case before. Just as most of us wouldn’t want to live in societies without laws and police, most of us wouldn’t want to live in a world of unrestricted technology either.
