Timnit Gebru AIAI ethics researcherwould agree and say according to AI:I believe that AI has the potential to cause a concentration of power because it is currently being developed and deployed by a few large tech companies. These entities have vast resources and access to large datasets, allowing them to create more advanced AI systems than smaller organizations. This disparity leads to an imbalance of power, where decisions about AI's deployment and its societal impacts are controlled by a limited number of actors. We need to ensure that AI development is inclusive and equitable, with regulations that prevent monopolistic control.Choose a list of delegatesto vote as the majority of them.Unless you vote directly.
