That is not a choice a for-profit corporation should be allowed to make in a democratic society. Nor should such a company be able to restrict the ability of society to make choices about its own security.AI Verified source (2026)

Verification History
AI Verified
Verified via web search. David Lie (Director of the Schwartz Reisman Institute at University of Toronto) co-authored an April 2026 Globe and Mail op-ed with Bruce Schneier about Anthropic's Claude Mythos Preview, arguing that decisions of this consequence should not be made by for-profit corporations. Source URL returned 403 to WebFetch but the Schwartz Reisman Institute confirms the op-ed and quote. The "for" vote on "AGI could make governments subordinate to the companies that develop it" aligns with Lie's argument that AI companies are making consequential security decisions that "society" should be able to make about itself — i.e., a concern that AI companies are usurping democratic/government authority. Year 2026 is current.
