It simply regurgitates already-existing information back to the user in the requested format based on algorithms designed by humans. It doesn't "think".
The only danger would be in hooking it up to control something physical, like a car... or a warship, i.e. some devices(a) where its output can have real, tangible consequences. But that's the same sort of problems (in essence) that we'd have with any other complex and not well-vetted technology -- and like they're already having with the latest "smart" car tech, for example.
So far, it's just a glorified and sensationalized, but essentially dumb, "digital" intern, whose only job is to Google answers to your inquiries and format them for you in a pleasing fashion.

This is why it is important to have ethical guidelines and regulations in place to ensure that AI is developed and used responsibly.

However, it's important to note that these concerns can often be addressed through the development of thoughtful and comprehensive ethical guidelines and regulations that balance the benefits of AI with potential risks and concerns.

Anthropomorphic thinking strikes again...
You're assigning AI an ability to think, intend, have goals, etc. that is similar to humans.
It's incapable of any of it.

"dumb" should be read in the context, and ok, maybe it's not the best word choice. My point was that knowing things (or in this case, essentially performing multiple internet searches really fast, although technically that is of course a dramatic simplification) is qualitatively different from ability to truly reason, or make decisions.
The thinking jobs of the future will be AI prompting jobs.
