Concentration of Power in AI

The book highlights the concentration of power within the tech industry, particularly in the realm of artificial intelligence, focusing on key figures like Demis Hassabis of DeepMind and Sam Altman of OpenAI. Both individuals have aimed to develop artificial general intelligence, which is seen as an opportunity to address significant societal challenges. However, the pursuit of these advancements has increasingly aligned them with major tech corporations, diminishing their initial altruistic visions. This shift raises concerns about the lack of regulation and governance over their powerful technologies, emphasizing the urgent need for oversight in such a rapidly evolving field.
