The more this tech is centralized around a few major tech companies, the larger the potential risk is likely to be. So, an under discussed potential solution to this issue is the decentralization of the technology. Having many different intelligences that operate on a smaller scale is much preferred to having 1 or a small number of god like intelligences that operate at huge scale. The majority of the benefits will also flow to a small group of players who control the AI which is the new means of production in the AI powered future. In short everyone should own and control their own AI system, instead of using 1 or a small group of AI systems that Big Tech owns and controls. We've seen this movie once already, and this time the tech is exponentially more powerful.
