The article argues that AI benefits wealthy people disproportionately because they can afford premium subscriptions and models without budget constraints, allowing them to experiment freely and access better-quality services.

The article recommends stakeholder-based ownership models and accountability mechanisms, noting that conventional corporate structures are ill-equipped to handle AI's societal impact and risks.
