Regimes are already using AI for surveillance, propaganda, misinformation, and control, and it's only early days for the technology; looking at the state of the world today with the far right in ascendency across the Western world and authoritarianism thriving across the globe, do we really think politicians and billionaires are going to deploy this technology for the good of the masses, when they're already weaponising it against us?

For democracies like ones in the Western world people can vote so if the masses feel like their governments are handling the issue badly they'll vote them out. A significant shift from current capitalistic systems in the next 10-20 years seems pretty likely to me. My biggest concern in the transition period is the phase when there is mass unemployment for white collar work but blue collar work isn't being impacted that much yet. Governments will need to make sure to help support their people through that.

The thing is though, sometimes democracies vote in authoritarianism; its not hard for popularist demagogues to persuade enough of the population to hand them power, as we've seen many times throughout history.

If anything, the last decade in particular has shown us that governments, big tech, and the elites don't give a shit about the wellbeing of the masses and will use every means they can including AI to monopolize power and wealth as the common people's expense.
