It is a case of keeping the tech out of the hands of those who cannot control it.

Just as so many inventors had hopes that their discoveries would mean everyone would live better lives ...most cannot or do not wish to see what potential for harm it would do.
Inventors, scientists ...are not professors in ethics.
(Other than the obvious bio and genetic and robotic and A.I. ethics professionals ...)

Otherwise new inventions don't get a serious screening and allowed or not allowed to be integrated into the fabric of society by professionals in ethics.


Inherently the tools we make are not evil ...it is the power hungry, the greedy, the despotic, the ignorant and the evil people who turn the purpose of the tools, and make use of the tools for evil ends.
