This is a very broad question. Every technology becomes a tool of human exploitation in different aspects. But I think, it's not the technology but the tool that runs on the technology exploits the things. For example, nuclear physics a science, now one can make electricity and other can make a bomb. The world has seen both. 
I think we can not stop people using technology, but you are right a governance and regulation is much required here. Especially in case of AI. AI automation has not only technical but social impacts as well.

This is a great question.
Something I'm increasingly intrigued about is a more subtle form of 'exploitation' ... something we do to ourselves.Technology is so seductive and has so many possibilities, but I think we are starting to privilege the linear, logical, rule-based world of 'algorithms ' in a belief systems that basically says: if you can gather enough data and reduce the principles to rules, then AI can do a better job than humans. Yes, certainly. many times. But humans are notoriously non linear and non-reductionist. We're noisy and sense make with more abstract patterning than algorithms often do. I'm watching trends like the withdrawal of funds from humanities in universities to prioritise the STEM subjects (Science, tech, engineering and maths) and wondering if there's a general shift here that signals a bias to linear sensemaking and a pretense that we make sense and meaning in those same ways. . If we constructed our tech (and we construct AI, at least initially) to do only that, we will be leaving our selves (messy, non reductionist, slow thinking, creative, imaginative) out the picture. And then AI, whatever job it has, might not serve us/ exploit us, in ways we can't easily even identify...?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to become a tool of human exploitation if misused. Concerns include mass surveillance, data privacy violations, and job displacement due to automation. In the wrong hands, AI could deepen verizon billing customer support inequalities, manipulating individuals through algorithmic bias or exploiting personal data for profit, raising ethical questions about accountability and human rights protection.
