Cory Doctorow: AI Dangers Rooted in Societal Structures, Not Technology

Cory Doctorow argues that the primary danger in artificial intelligence stems not from the technology itself, but from the societal structures and political systems within which it is deployed. He suggests that existing issues like corporate control and governmental policies exacerbate the risks associated with AI, rather than AI inherently being a dangerous force.
