But just like so many things, do you really think that,
because the "good guys" don't build a tool which can be
used for "good" or "evil" that the "bad guys" won't build
and use the tool?

It seems that what is needed is research into methods for
controlling these tools (Computer Science) and research
into new public policies regarding the use and misuse of
such tools (Humanities and Social Science).

Remember: whether the U.S. did it or not, others still
would have developed and deployed nuclear weapons.
