I think these two bits perfectly sum the issue

> Why is everyone in such a hurry to accept and embrace an imperfect AI anyway?

> The AI companies should be sued

Your option to stopping the AI companies goes through litigation in courts, which means you also need to prove harm, which can only be proven once done at scale with obvious and measurable impacts. Basically when it's widely accepted, and also too late.

Other approaches would be through preemptive regulation, which also means limiting what companies can do by law. That needs trust in government and regulators, and active participation of a majority of the actors in legislation and framework building, and making sure everyone's voice has a chance to be heard.



Of course, this is a recipe for turning the future of AI over to foreign technocratic regimes that don't prioritize invented "human rights" at the expense of human progress... but never mind that. I suppose growing a thicker collective skin is out of the question.
