I very much appreciate you thinking and writing about such issues, and I highly recommend deepening your analysis by reading the books _Technological Slavery vol 1_ and _Anti-Tech Revolution: Why & How_, both by the recently deceased T.J. Kaczynski, the most important thinker in history around the issue of the presence and continuation of Technology, which necessarily inhibits human freedom and destroys Nature.

The idea of pre-emptive "safeguards" - against unforeseeable (mis)uses of ever-advancing technologies - rings of supreme naiveté, given that all of our biggest and most existential crises result from modern technologies.

If it was ever possible to avoid causing severe harms (to people and Nature), would we not have avoided these problems? Even now, A.I. developers are saying simply "We need to be careful" because "if" they aren't "careful" (whatever that entails), their technological releases upon the world may eradicate human existence (or "merely" ruin human societies).
