Here's one positive use of AI: detection of shark species by drones to inform lifesavers as to whether a beach should be closed or not. This saves both shark and human lives, and is likely more cost effective than other methods (e.g. nets). Noticeably, it's the choice of data (i.e. not ingesting the labour of others without recompense), and how it's used, that make it very different to the various products that startups are producing. But it's the startups (and their owners) that will profit from misuse.
