I think it's always a mistake to hope that a business is going to not exploit innovation for their own gain at the expense of society. If we don't want this technology to have huge effects on society, governments will need to regulate it. I doubt that's feasible, but it's more feasible than hoping that Silicon Valley (or any other business) is going to just hold themselves back from releasing world-shaking tech that will make them trillionaires.
