> This is the fundamental nature of complex technologies: our knowledge of these systems will always be partial, at best. Yes, AI will make this situation worse. But it’s a situation that we’ve been in for a long time.

That doesn’t make it OK. This is like being stuck in a room whose pillars are starting to deteriorate, then someone comes along with a sledgehammer and starts hitting them and your reaction is to shrug and say “ah, well, the situation is bad and will only get worse, but the roof hasn’t fallen on our heads yet so let’s do nothing”.

If the situation is untenable, the right course of action is to try to correct it, not shrug it off.
