The reason technology is dangerous is because the Logos, the Summum Bonum, underlies all technology. That may sound weird but God is above all, in all, and through all--that includes AI.
Think of fire and electricity. They were/are inherent in nature, and man had to harness these to bring about their good. Technology, as the Greatest Good, is even more dangerous and much more difficult to learn how to use correctly. I don't think the answer lies in retreating.
If we can harness technology in the correct Way, I personally believe Heaven will come to Earth. That may sound crazy given how much evil has already arisen from technology. Evil is a parasite on Good, and man must learn how to strip away the parasites.
Using technology as a means for control has to be stopped--I think that's our greatest issue at this point. And here's another thing, even if we strip away the evil, we are still not out of the woods. The Summum Bonum invites us to partnership and that is a learning process in which mistakes will be made.
If this indeed is a correct way of viewing AI, we may either be on the brink of utter destruction or on the brink of a new Heaven and new Earth. Our first step is to wrest AI from the control of a few who are intent on using It for evil instead of good.
