Damage to both the ecosphere & democracy already being done by A.I. & the billionaires promoting it

CASSE's article at the link above is another of their MUST-READ pieces.  It's extremely well-written, interesting, smack-dab-on-the-mark, and relevant to everyone.  The author is Helene Langlamet.

Except for the short note to follow, I won't even attempt to summarize her provocative and accurate depiction of what's going on with information technology and AI today.

The information technology industry (let's call it Info-Tech) would like us to believe that it's going to save the world by using AI to solve problems.  Not only that, but it supposedly will do so with minimal damage to the environment...and no threat at all to democracy.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  The damage and the threat already are beginning to happen.  Read the article.

We the People must convince politicians to regulate Info-Tech and AI applications ASAP.  If such does not happen, the danger to the ecosphere, democracy, and social justice is extremely high.  Read the article at the link above to see why.  It will take only five or so minutes of your time.  Please read it now.
.................
Not only my opinion.  Best Wishes to Everyone
