AI is a tool, like all tools it's only as effective as the tool who is using it.
Israel have already shown that AI can be abused to commit atrocities, while giving them further opportunity to avoid due responsibility.
With self driving cars, the main reason we don't have them is that the manufacturers would not be willing to accept liability. Also, the insurance industry is a massive leech on society and doesn't want to give up its cash cow. It's less about the effectiveness and the politics, more about money.
