There's an example used in regulatory circles: electricity would never be permitted in homes under today's regulatory standards - we only accept it and its hazards because it is so incredibly common and useful in daily life and we've been accepting it since before we cared so deeply about safety.

So, have today's goalposts moved so much that "AI" no longer passes modern society's definitions of acceptable? I feel like such a technology would have been cheerfully embraced in the 1960s.
