It is challenging to know what will help:
Maybe pointing at machine intelligence and shouting "DANGER!" and "WEAPON!" will just attract the attention of the military.
Maybe getting the safety-conscious teams to slow down will mean a greater chance of the unscrupulous teams getting there first.
This is one of my concerns about the SIAI. They seem to be enthusiastic about caution - but excessive caution in this area seems likely to increase the chances of an undesirable outcome - via the mechanism in the link - so they may be having a particularly negative impact.
