Whether we like it or not, AI is and will be a significant part of the economic infrastructure. The public must own AI like we should own roads, rail, and other strategic infrastructure that we use for our economic activity.
Of course nationalizing is the right course of action. Seeing so called communists arguing against seizing the means of production is mind boggling.
Exactly. One would think that .ml will like the idea of owning at least 50% of AI companies. It's funny that none on the left haven't applied, let alone evolve, Marxist ideas to try to own AI. If workplaces should be owned by workers because labour is what fuels workplace, then if knowledge from everyone is what drives AI, it is only logical that the people should also own AI.
People wont own AI, the USA goverment will. Do you people even bother to read the bill politicians propose or do you all close you eyes and hope for the best???
Are you telling me that the US government outsourcing surveillance and insider trading with tech oligarchs, isn't already?
Presumably, the bill will mean reining the potential harm of AI. Also, this means the American people will get direct dividends. A first step towards universal basic income. It's not different to Alaskans getting dividends from oil revenues in their state.
Why would the bourgeois dictatorship owning more of AI help the working classes? The state is not outside class struggle, it's a product of it and serves a definite class.
Ironic.
How so?
