Former Andreessen Horowitz partner John O’Farrell says his colleagues are trying to buy our democracy.

In a New York Times op-ed, the venture capitalist accused his Silicon Valley colleagues of using their vast wealth to shut down debate around regulating AI. He says there needs to be a conversation about how to use AI to benefit all of society, not just the wealthy few. > A.I. is not just another technology. It could drive productivity to new heights while automating away work for millions. It could find a cure for cancer, while accelerating biological risks we’re not prepared for. It could transform how our children learn, while leaving them unable to tell real from fake. It could concentrate economic power in ways that would make the Gilded Age look quaint.
