Well, in that case, your math is all wrong!

The SIAI is actually having a negative effect, by distracting conscientious researchers with all kinds of ridiculous and irrelevant moral issues - which results in the unscrupulous Korean FKU corporation developing machine intelligence first - when otherwise they would have been beaten to it. Their bot promises humans a cure for cancer - but then it gets powerful, eats the internet, and goes on to do all manner of dubious things.

If only you had had the sense to give to VillageReach!
