I'm one who thinks that reasonable controls are a good idea but not a complete answer. I think the only true answer comes when we can begin to develop more empathy for our fellow human beings. I think we could change the dynamics of many societal issues, including the two mentioned here, if we could begin to act from one simple, yet difficult premise: what we do to others, we do to ourselves.
I so agree with you. It's up to us to decide to use technological inventions to do good.

So what do we do to balance innovation and ethics? I think it is hard to answer the question without being immediately confronted by the situation. If we do make an AI, we will have to see how it reacts and go from there. We can't know until we know!

Every scientific innovation has its good and bad sides. It all depends on how you handle and use the innovations here. Come to think of it, guns are wise to use, that's why they were innovated in the first place, but mankind tend to use the same profitable innovation for the destruction of mankind and other animals.
I think it's a basis of common sense here, in over to avoid ruining the world, human nature is should be more dorminant of a factor than thirst and greed for Fame and anything else.

True. I don’t believe technology should be blamed for people’s evil deeds.
It is human nature to invent and innovate, as such the people who carry out destructive acts will just find another means of doing so.
