Bengio mentions that open source is playing a leading role in AI advancements these days. So maybe it's more accurate to view open source as the corporation at the forefront. I mention this only because it's interesting to contemplate the corporate motivations of the open source community versus a traditional for-profit corporation. I know it will be a stretch for some people to imagine open source as a corporation but if you stick to Bengio's definiton ("building blocks (humans) are cogs in the machine who for the most part may not always perceive the consequences of the corporation’s overall behavior") then it'll be easier to see what I'm getting at.
