AI and Power Concentration: Building Tech to Empower Us All
Advanced AI is rapidly concentrating extraordinary power in the hands of a few companies and individuals through job replacement, media control, and mass surveillance. This could be extraordinarily damaging to our society, economy, and individual agency. This session will bring together Big Tech whistleblowers, AI experts, and civil society leaders to lay out the ways in which AI is supercharging the concentration of power, what this means for us as individuals and communities, and how we can ensure that AI is used to empower everyone, not just enrich the few.
