Abstract
Developing artificial Intelligence (AI) technology has become a business of power. AI
innovation is increasingly centralized in a few large companies – mainly, Google, Facebook, and
Apple.1 Specialized data scientists - the backbone of these institutions - understand how AI
functions, further creating a power dynamic between the layperson and the corporatized specialist.
In the age of COVID-19, we have all become more reliant on technology companies and innovations
to fulfill the needs of our new digital lives. We have little choice but to trust them in developing the
AI technologies of the future.
