very well put.

but i disagree with your conclusion. yes, due to our current economic system, ai is being developed by different groups with different intentions. there is no central authority deciding what algos are or aren't released to the public. but this is because governments still don't have legislation towards it. this is due to the fact that corporations are still trying to find the profit angle that these current algos have. once that happens, and considering that the profits could be massive, the pressure to curtail the wild west of ai development will increase.

and thus in no time you'll see campaigns in mass media asking for certain regulation, lobbying/bribes on a massive scale towards politicians that decide the regulations. "grassroot movements" will emerge to give legitimacy to specific demands.

after that, the multiple possibilites of ai will be reduced to what can keep the capitalist machine going.

the biggest legal battle will be over on who as the legal rights to what is created by the ai.
