It's not "artificial" intelligence, it's human intelligence. It is the collective knowledge of humanity, produced by countless generations of people, anyone who has ever published a text or created an image, as well as their teachers and their teachers' teachers.
And as such, it is difficult to imagine a clearer-cut case for collective ownership and democratic public control.
But instead our collective product is hoovered up virtually for free by a few capitalist firms and their billionaire owners to enhance the profits and power of a few, with potentially existential consequences for all of us and zero democratic oversight.
A powerful week of community, collaboration, and real-world impact as decentralized infrastructure takes root in East Africa. 🌍
