How do you process being treated as the human face and primary lightning rod for public anxiety surrounding AI?

It is a surreal experience, but I try not to take it too personally. When monumental shifts occur, people naturally search for a focal point or a scapegoat to absorb their fears about the future. The creation of this technology is actually the collective achievement of brilliant scientists and engineers rather than a single individual. I recognize that anyone in this leadership seat would face identical public reactions.
