I’m more worried about who will control AI than AI itself

I know there are many uncertainties about the future of AI and how it could influence the global economy. If you ask ten people what the future will look like, you’ll probably get ten different answers. I genuinely believe AI has enormous potential to improve our quality of life, increase productivity, and allow people to spend less time working just to survive. But I’m also afraid that most of the economic benefits will be captured by a small group of wealthy individuals and corporations, leading to even greater wealth inequality. Historically, people have fought for workers’ rights and better living conditions, but I wonder if that will even be possible in a world where human labor becomes less essential. If people lose their economic leverage, how are they supposed to fight for their rights? Or maybe rights are something we only have because we’ve managed to fight for them in the first place, but that’s another philosophical discussion lol. I also doubt that new jobs will emerge at the same rate as existing ones disappear. Ideally, we’d use AI to give humans more freedom and a better quality of life, rather than just maximizing economic output. But I’m afraid we’ll have to fight
