AI is something that can benefit so many people, its just unfortunate that people who're in power no matter where we are in the socio-economic-political (whatever) spectrum will find ways to it benefits themselves more than having it benefit everyone. I hope it changes in the future and have more guardrails to minimize abuse.
I think that's the whole point. Look at the folks who keep saying "We are the only ones who can prevent The Terminator from happening." They're the same ones who're pouring the most money into AI R&D and getting their APIs integrated into third party products. The whole thing is a smokescreen to ensure that there are as few competitors as possible.
