There are benefits of scale, sure. But it's basically the same for other aspects. The rich can buy better education, invest in hobbies etc while the poor can't.

There are benefits of scale, sure. But it's basically the same for other aspects. The rich can buy better education, invest in hobbies etc while the poor can't. So it's nothing new and i think because "AI" tools are getting so widespread it will actually offer better options for the poor. Same with free education tools getting more and more popular. So it's not all negative.
But when speaking about very advanced tools that could, in theory, give unprecedented advantage to few rich people it would be in the best interest of governments to invent tax schemes that would redistribute their earnings more evenly. On the same note i think countries ought to implement digital taxes in the near future to not to become digital colonies where the internet companies have no employees and pay their taxes elsewhere, eg ireland. With margins as high as they are for digital goods where it's all ones and zeros traveling through cables, to support their own economy and skilled workforce something has to be done.
It's already a problem where the rich can make their money in some country but pay their taxes to tax havens. When the companies can employ the same thing without even investing anything in the countries they are operating it seems the playground is uneven for a lot of poorer players.
