They're not racing to augment and support human workers. They're racing to replace human workers. [...] [This] will lead to unprecedented levels of concentration and wealth and power because essentially, all the money in the economy — instead of being paid to individual laborers, you're going to pay five to 10 AI companies to do all of the work.

Quote attributed to Tristan Harris (Center for Humane Technology cofounder), year 2026. Source URL (npr.org) returned HTTP 403 to WebFetch, but a web search confirmed the quote verbatim from the NPR March 30, 2026 interview (with Steve Inskeep) at that exact URL: "They're not racing to augment and support human workers. They're racing to replace human workers" and the continuation about "unprecedented levels of concentration and wealth and power because essentially, all the money in the economy - instead of being paid to individual laborers, you're going to pay five to 10 AI companies to do all of the work." Author attribution correct. Year 2026 current. The [...] elision and bracketed clarification are valid. Vote alignment correct: statement "The economic gains from frontier AI should be shared with every person on Earth" is voted "for," matching Harris's critique of wealth concentration and his implicit support for gains flowing to people broadly rather than to a handful of AI companies.
