This is a recent Swisher podcast<\/a> and is relevant to the discussion of power of big tech. Fei Fei Li is a prominent AI researcher. One of the more interesting issues from this discussion was Li’s effort to describe how the big companies had a position of control over AI relative to the role often played by higher education.

The focus in big tech corporations quickly focuses on profit opportunities. Li proposed that government assist multiple institutions in developing a consortium to pursue a wider range of research and evaluative topics.<\/p>\n
