Turing proved that no TM can determine whether all TMs halt ... not that no TM can determine whether some specific TM halts ... the difference a common misunderstanding of the proof. Analogously, while we can't prove that no AI is or isn't harmful, we can prove that certain AIs are or aren't harmful.
