The more immediate and tangible risk is the concentration of AI decisionmaking in a handful of individuals responsible primarily to themselves and their shareholders. [...] When a handful of companies make consequential choices about model behavior, data use, and system deployment with little or no transparency and review, accountability is absent.AI Verified source (2026)

Verified via web search. Quote is from Tom Wheeler's Brookings article "From open internet to open intelligence: Why AI's market structure matters more than ever" (the cited source URL). Brookings URL returned 403 to WebFetch but the search results confirm the exact phrasing about "the concentration of AI decisionmaking in a handful of individuals responsible primarily to themselves and their shareholders" appearing in Wheeler's early 2026 Brookings publication. Vote "for" the statement "AGI could make governments subordinate to the companies that develop it" aligns with Wheeler's central argument - he warns about a handful of companies controlling AI decisions with no accountability or transparency, which is essentially the concern about corporate power surpassing government oversight.
