Yes, this is currently a crisis we are in. (At this point in time.)

Everybody remember MAD, mutually assured destruction? That too is a crisis.

We are in a crisis because we are having uncontrolled development and continuous rollout of a dangerous technology.

Well, relatively uncontrolled: the kind of lack of control is part of the crisis -- loss of gross human consensus around the progression of the technology. The corporate angle.

This is a crisis, folks.
