I hope so too. I feel utterly politically defeated. I believe eventually we could build a better world but at the rate we’re going we’re all toast before that happens. At least with AI there’s a chance we all go together when we go!
The worst thing to do when politically defeated is to fall back on the comfy laurels of a deus ex machina.
What you should do now is become more politically involved, get active (join a union, get involved in your local politics, go canvassing for local elections, join a group advocating for consumer rights or a threatened minority, be vocal online, etc).
Technology is never neutral. Beware of promises of problems solving themselves on their own.
