A lot of the criticisms people use to talk about AI (influence on inequality, monopoly-burnishing capabilities, bias towards underrepresented people, mostly opaque to the public, etc) are also equally valid criticisms of neoliberalism. AI augments the system it is deployed in.
Another way to look at it is that these criticisms are implicitly motivated by ideological opposition to neoliberalism. In other words, AI is well on its way to becoming a political football, like climate science.

Not equal balance in that context.
#Tech inherently neoliberal and as such, based on much of science fiction, completely ideological. Criticisms to it are valid, and are made by people who do not possess the same power ratio for its outcomes—that impact their very real lives.Kiitos. Käytämme tätä aikajanasi parantamiseen. KumoaKumoa

In other words, it is a stacked argument with a power balance that favors an elite few, who are very very very ideological.

1) There are plenty of bad articles badly arguing the above points, but I'm sympathetic to the idea that some technologies do exert a directional force toward certain social, political, and military outcomes.

2) It's well documented in economics, for example, that industries with very high fixed costs and low marginal costs tend to become monopolies. Similarly, broadcast radio seems to favor cultural homogeneity more than, say, social media

3) I think it's reasonable to suggest that current AI tech has its own suite of directional forces, but these will evolve along with the technology. Perhaps future tech progress will reduce capital costs and network effects.
