None of those are specifically "AI" issues. The technology used is irrelevant. In most cases you could cause the same bias problems with a simple linear regression model or something. Suicide techniques and notes are already widely available.

I mean, just because you could kill a million people by hand doesn't mean that a pistol, or an automatic weapon, or nuclear weapons aren't an issue, just an irrelevant technology. Guns in a home make suicide more likely simply because they are a tool that allows for a split-second action. "If someone really wants to do X, they will find a way" just doesn't map onto reality.
