AI companies are spending trillions of dollars trying to build AI and robots to replace human workers and concentrate power in the hands of a select few tech elites.

In the process, they steal copyrighted materials on an industrial scale and cause many other harms.

But AI development is not inevitable. AI needs chips and data centers to run on.

One solution would be to cease the production of advanced AI chips. Scaling up artificial intelligence relies on an extremely concentrated supply chain. As with nuclear technology, countries could agree to strict rules prohibiting their development and production.

Another solution would be to stop the construction of data centers. This is a very popular idea. Both Bernie Sanders and Ron DeSantis have moved to allow data centers to be blocked.
