I just uploaded a new draft essay "Two AI Truths and a Lie," which will be part of the Yale ISP's Digital Public Sphere project. I argue that unless lawmakers address the dynamics of extraction, normalization, & self-dealing, then AI systems will likely be used to do more harm than good. https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4840383
