AI Expert Warns Most Tech Oligarchs Are More Powerful Than Governments

What was said

Gowdat argued that major technology company leaders have accumulated more influence than elected governments, making regulatory intervention on AI development unlikely. He suggested the concentration of power in Silicon Valley has reached a point where democratic oversight is effectively neutered by corporate interests.
