There is NO justification for privately owned corporate AI. It destroys jobs and people’s ability to feed and care for themselves.
Government is needed to make sure that the benefits of AI are provided to the population instead of seven dorks masturbating into their piles of money.
There is NO justification for privately owned corporate AI.
Not that I actually like it, but I think privately owned corporate AI isn’t the primary problem. It’s the broken market that is the real problem creating some insane bubble that can (temporarily at best - but who cares for long-term effects nowadays) only be sustained by shoe-horning AI into 1001 applications that it can’t fullfil properly.
Corporations competing with actual applications in fields where AI makes sense wouldn’t be a problem, corporations competing for insane sums of financing by outpacing each other in terms of lies, fairy tales and trust-me-bro pseudo-science statements are. Because with insane amounts of money and nothing to actually show they instead spend a fraction of it on PR bullshit to advertise AI use in cases where it doesn’t make sense, to get more money again. Rinse and repeat, with no actual value created.
That is the primary problem with AI. It literally prevents people in the country from being able to pay for necessities like food, water, shelter, clothing, et cetera.
In that respect, it is more than an optimization tool. It is a weapon that is used against the people of the country, and it prevents money from going into those employees bank accounts and out to those businesses it used to go out to.
So it negatively affects both individual people within the country AND the country’s businesses’ ability to make a profit.
For that reason, all AI should be owned by the government, and the government should use the resources that AI provides toward the welfare of the people in the country. There is zero justification in allowing the privatization of the benefits from it, regardless of how many competing AI companies there may be.

Privately owned AI displaces jobs.
