I'm not naive enough to believe pr Amazon, Google and co put on their websites.
Let's start with the massive copyright infringement that has been used to train models. The mindset is 'whats mine is mine, and whats yours is mine as well'.

Copyright is a pile of bollocks though.
I'm not naive enough to believe the PR either, but I do see very intelligent people working on this on a daily basis. A lot of thought is going in to how AI will be trained and deployed and what safeguards need to be in place, and most of that work is collaborative and done in conjunction with government.
Human progress has always come at a cost, but usually it's a short term cost than benefits more people in the long term. I think AI has a huge amount of positive potential, but it needs to be harnessed properly.

Training is not (necessarily) copyright infringement. In the same way that if I watch Shrek and then memorise information about Shrek and talk about it with my friends, I haven't infringed any copyright.

It's a known issue in the industry that CEOs and their boards know they have to address, because if they don't then Governments will force them to.
Look at device security, lots of manufacturers are selling devices that are laughably easy to compromise. The industry has tried to address this but too many rogue companies have ignored it, so now there is legislation either in place, like the UK PSTI Act, or coming, the EU's Cyber Resilience Act, and it's going to have a massive impact on companies, i.e. Hoover have disabled their connected device service in the UK because it doesn't meet the PSTI requirements.
I know it's fun to dunk on Tech Bros, but there are a lot of people and companies that are acutely aware of their societal responsibilities and there is a long track record of successful industry-wide collaboration to improve and standardise areas of concern.
