#109 Who Writes AI’s Rules — The Public or the Billionaires?

Hosts Dave Kelsey and H. Daniel Mujahid examine who should set the rules for artificial intelligence: the public through accountable government or the companies and investors who profit from it. They explore how unchecked industry control can shift risks onto workers, communities, and democracy, and why transparency, independent testing, human appeals, data rights, and community consent are essential.

This episode outlines practical principles for AI policy, discusses impacts on jobs, elections, and public information, and urges citizens and institutions to insist on meaningful oversight, shared responsibility, and ongoing review so technology expands human dignity rather than concentrating power.
