The same goes for algorithms, when they are used to save lives at hospitals it’s a net positive

Again, more complicated.

Are the algorithms mathematically sound, or just AI/machine learning magic fairy dust?

Do the algorithms have implicit biases against poor people, or those with darker skin or who live in certain postcodes?

For example, nuclear energy is a neutral thing on its own, when used to generate power it’s (arguably) a net positive...

It's more complicated than that.

Mining uranium has side effects, usually for poorer communities.

The fuel has to handled safety, as well a the waste which to be safely stored for 1000s of years.

Nuclear plants have to be designed and built well.

The most benign democracies have made made a mess of those issues.
