Looking at the machine learning ecosystem we have at the moment, there is a good degree of democratising, as in anyone with the skills and funds can build, optimise and deploy ML models. This is driven in part by the whole open source movement. If AGI goes down the same route, as in researched by academia and funded by private enterprises, I can't see why it wouldn't be just as open. If everyone had access to super AI, what does that mean to our democracy? I can't see social networks surviving (AIs could just flood all feeds), which I'm probably happy about. Some governments like the UK and EU are taking steps now to ensure AI doesn't start breaking human rights, discrimination, etc. Just need to get the us and China on board (unlikely?). So to summarise, I remain optimistic.
