"We need to stop thinking of [AI] companies as merely businesses providing us products and services. These are new forms of empire that are consolidating a historic amount of economic and political power, terraforming our earth, reshaping our geopolitics, upending our education systems and our future careers."
"We want the benefits of AI. We absolutely cannot have it at the cost [of] our democracy. People should fight like hell to make sure that's not taken away."
"Let's dream up new forms of AI that can bring us new benefits without the extraordinary costs."
AI companies are likened to empires, consolidating economic and political power while claiming resources that do not belong to them. This includes data and intellectual property. The rapid deployment of AI threatens democratic norms and human rights, leading to significant environmental costs. There is a call to separate AI from empire and to design purpose-driven AI systems that benefit society without compromising democracy. The need for responsible rethinking of AI's role in society is emphasized.
