AI Researcher Warns: Today's Tech Giants Are the New Colonial Empires

A leading artificial intelligence researcher says the world's top AI companies are following a dangerous historical pattern. Karen Hao, author of "Empire of AI," argues that Silicon Valley's powerful firms act like the colonial empires of the past. She says they are focused on extracting data, talent, and resources to build their power. This comparison highlights concerns about how a small group of companies controls a world-changing technology. Their actions could shape global economies and politics. Hao's analysis was published in a detailed report. It examines the aggressive growth strategies of major AI leaders.
