The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

AI companies must cooperate with regulators to ensure this novel technology is built and used appropriately. These warnings are not just coming from concerned citizens and lawmakers but also the industry's leading executives, from the leaders of OpenAI, Microsoft, and Google to Elon Musk. These companies already have the brains and the capital to develop world-changing AI — they just need help implementing guardrails at the government level.

Establishment-critical narrative

We should be careful before including the CEOs of these companies, whose obvious goal is to monopolize the power and profit of AI, in discussions on how to regulate them. The so-called nonprofit OpenAI is suspiciously profitable, on top of the fact that it's basically become a subsidiary of Microsoft and put industry titans and former government officials on its board. If European governments — located far from the tech capital of Silicon Valley — are only requiring vague "regulate yourself policies," what can we expect from the US government, whose ties to Big Tech are much closer?

Narrative C

AI is the future, and trying to set back its development won't solve any problems. AI offers a revolutionary means to address some of the world's biggest challenges, including inequity and even climate change, and it must be kept on its current track. Rather than trying to reign it in, the tricky areas of the technology simply need to be identified, and work can be done to improve them while AI continues to develop at its current pace.
