Why anyone would think that those in positions of power due to their wealth would act any differently now than they have historically in the past boggles my mind. "Globalization" was the big buzz word of the 1990's which promised to "connect" the world and improve the lives of millions. But ultimately it benefited the multinational corporations and those who ran them, by opening the door for more labor exploitation, cutthroat aggressive extraction of resources, and the proliferation of corrupt international networks and alliances unconcerned about justice, equity, or environmental degradation. Why or how would rampant, unregulated use of AI result in a more just and equitable world? Dystopia is the other side on the coin of utopia. Techno-optimists are intentionally behind all the hype around AI's benefits to obfuscate the truth that someone will likely get very rich off of it! That AI could improve many things is undeniable, but the question to ask is who produces it, and for what ultimate end?
