Beside power residing with whoever *owns* an AI service, the real power resides with the human that trains & corrects the AI. Imagine if far-right wingers had that control and all AIs decided that the US Civil War was never won by the Union and is actually still going on, (Sounds like a plot from “Black Mirror”, huh?)
