The secondary and tertiary impacts of AI definitely are impacts that keep me up at night, as the landscape of security changes.

The easiest and most effective way is to change the rules of the game before anyone has gone to the ballot box, though it's also the hardest as it requires significant control over legislative and judicial systems.
