“The artificial intelligence revolution has arrived. Many tools enrich our lives. But artificial intelligence is also currently leading to power being concentrated in fewer and fewer hands or companies. And we need to find ways to democratise AI, to make it more welfare-oriented, to build our values into it, so that tomorrow we can trust these systems and not be so dependent on them.”
