There are many aspects of looking into this matter. If we are concerned just with home safety like fire or some other accident due to AC, then there is no harm in leaving your air conditioner on all day.
In case of extremely hot conditions, there are comparatively more AC units working in your neighborhood. This can result in overload and power outages. To prevent such a condition, you can increase the temperature of the thermostat a little bit instead of turning the AC off.

LEAVE YOUR AC ON WHILE YOU ARE OUTSIDE FOR SHORT TIME (FEW HOURS)
If you turn off your AC when you are outside of your home for a day, then heatwave and humidity may enter your house from outside. The comparatively hotter temperature outside will increase the temperature of your house. When you come back and switch on your AC then it would take more time and energy to cool the room.

You can always decide whether to leave your AC on or to turn it off depending on various factors liken outside temperature, age of AC, size of AC, size of the house, insulation of the house. In a normal condition, it is always safe to leave your AC on all day.
