> The "will be exploited by few against the many" could be applied to any and all technologies. Some technologies have a low barrier of entry and can be widely distributed. The long bow could pierce armor, and was cheaper (and I imagine easier to make) than armor. So technology can equalize, though more broadly, what sorts of technologies a society develops seems bounded by things like economy and warfare. Penrose believes intelligence depends on understanding, and that understanding is essentially not computational, and I was persuaded by his writing. But that doesn't mean that the techniques we label as AI can't be pernicious or used in an exploitative way.
