The Penguin Review
Abstract
I don’t take many liberties in the text below, but one thing I will assume is that whoever may be reading this piece does not own and will not inherit any large company, particularly any large tech company.
For the average person, generative AI and its rapid development can be confusing. Information is kept elusive by even the most transparent of AI companies.1 It can feel hopeless to even care about AI considering its trajectory is largely decided by the top executives at the most powerful tech companies (and the U.S. military).2 However, the metaphorical ship has already sailed, and there is no way to possibly force the entire world to technologically revert. Therefore, a decision must be made: is AI a friend or a foe to the working class? Will the advancements made in technology finally create an equal and just society or will it be used to exacerbate inequality– especially class inequality?
