Solely? Oh brother.

In reality it’s the complete opposite. It exists to highlight the actual source of the problem, as both industries/practitioners using AI professionally and safely, and communities with very high rates of gun ownership and exceptionally low rates of gun violence exist.

It isn’t the tools. It’s the social circumstances of the people with access to the tools. That’s the point. The tools are inanimate. You can use them well or use them badly. The existence of the tools does not make humans act badly.
