It is the responsibility of all governments in the world to NOW care for their people to not get left behind in the AI revolution coming to all of us - by caring for maximizing equality of wealth coming from the unprecedented innovations ahead of us. If they don't, this wave will erase the wealth of the many and it will let explode the wealth of the few to incredible heights. Sadly, I do not see governments act appropriately yet, as if they did not yet get it at all. So in result of this, there will be a very hard phase for the many until the corrections have been made. Better to act now! Think about what you vote for!

The development of artificial intelligence is intrinsically linked to the deployment of infrastructures that demand investments of trillions of dollars. And who is able to do this if not the richest companies in the world? The State? Definitely not.

just can’t stand his reference to billionaires

A good 100 years ago a man noticed that his factory workers became much more productive due to his invention. He was thinking - I can now produce 100% more than my competitors in the same amount of time. Fantastic news, I'll be more rich.Than he though again. What if I try something else? I give my people an option to work much less time. What happens?So he did. He reduced work from 12 hours per day / 6 days per week to 8 hours per day / 5 days per week.People were impressed. Henry Ford became popular. Employees from other companies rushed to work for his company. He was able to choose the best.Other owners complained to him. They hated the fact that he decided to shorten workload for people. They were sure that they were about to earn less.Decades later, they all made money and people lived better lives. New rich people emerged, some rich people became poor.Same thing will happen now. Some rich owners will use AI to improve people's lives. Some rich people will not decide so. The first who do will win. The latter will loose.Rich people cannot be rich without a mass of people being in average. And this mass eventually chooses the top leader.

Alankar Joshi Yes, and that is why controls cannot sit with a tiny group. The more concentrated the rules, the more concentrated the gains will be.

The same could be said about politicians. “Are they worried about working people?” The socialist view has proven to be a fallacy time and time again.

Ahmed Shamsin Exactly. Progress alone does not spread value on its own. The system around the technology decides who gets the gains, and that is where leadership carries real weight.

I think AI is our generation’s fire. Over leverage we burnout, avoid it and we freeze behind, comply and go along and we miss the big picture. I created this short article and embedded film about it recently:

Mohamed Anis That is the truth many miss. The biggest choices are often made far from public view, and by the time most people notice, the pattern is already set. That is why the question of who benefits matters so much.

Wave Group You are right. The obsession with capability has distracted us from the governance models that actually dictate our future. We have to stop viewing these systems as independent forces. They are extensions of the structures we create, and those structures currently favor a very narrow set of outcomes.

Masud Parvez That is where the gap shows up fast. If ownership and liability are unclear, speed becomes a risk instead of an advantage. Leaders need to define both before they scale the system.

Emiliano Lako Exactly. Once power scales, the rules around it matter just as much as the power itself. If value flows in one direction only, the system will keep repeating the same pattern.

Insightful shift in perspective. It’s vital to prioritize ethical frameworks in AI development.

Powerful words from Bernie Sanders!

Dr. Martha Boeckenfeld Open source matters here. It balances out power sitting in closed systems. If more people are going to shape what gets built, the tools need to be easier to access and work with. It keeps things from concentrating in too few hands.

Thanks for sharing this. AI may boost individual output today while weakening worker bargaining power tomorrow, especially when specialized skills become easier to copy or replace.

Why do bad or crooked people get to control everything? Why does, egotistically selfish and evil intent determine the future? If we all know they are ill-willed, why can the corrupt not be destroyed and replaced with righteous people? Are there none available? Are being moral and being enormously wealthy with powerful mutually exclusive?

Maria Turcan History often repeats itself with new resources. The pattern you described is exactly why the focus must move to who controls the systems. I have seen how quickly those windows close, leaving little room for others to participate. We need to be more aware of these shifts.

SUJOY BASAK That is the part many miss. A system never starts from zero. It usually reflects the incentives already in place, and AI is no exception. The real test is not only what it can do, but who it serves.

This is a repeating pattern in the history of humanity. The powerful does not care about the fate of weaker. It is here to impose its ideas and its way of life. What can we as citizens can do is the question?
