Bill Gates's view that new institutions are the solution to AI's growing power is misguided, according to this analysis. The author argues that concentrating governance power into new institutions merely replicates the problem of concentrated algorithmic power. Instead, the focus should be on redesigning governance to prevent such concentrations, emphasizing the need for independent counterpowers that can contest, review, and overrule algorithmic authority. This constitutional approach aims to ensure legitimacy by separating powers that are currently fused within single organizations, such as defining objectives, controlling data, deploying systems, and judging their safety.
