Sure, when applied thoughtfully and judiciously.

Look back. At no point did I suggest AI should be banned or outlawed. My remedy for washing machines burning down houses isn't to ban washing machines. It's to ensure there are appropriate incentives in place (legal, financial, reputational) to encourage private industry to consider the potential negative externalities of what they're doing.
