"grateful that literacy, the printing press, computers and the internet became normalised before this notion of "harm" and harm prevention was"

Printing Press -> Reformation -> Thirty Years' War -> Millions Dead

I'm sure that there were lots of different opinions at the time about what kind of harm was introduced by the printing press and what to do about it, and attempts to control information by the Catholic church etc.

The current fad for 'safe' 'AI' is corporate and naive. But there's no simple way to navigate a revolutionary change in the way information is accessed / communicated.
