Comment by Andrew Yang
2020 US Presidential Candidate
If these same companies succeed in building artificial general intelligence and deploying AI agents that displace human workers at scale, we'd face catastrophic power concentration. A few tech giants would control not just information, but the entire economy. This would be a level of centralized power incompatible with democracy.

Verified via web search. Andrew Yang's Notus.org perspective piece "Is AI good for democracy?" contains the exact phrases "catastrophic power concentration," "tech giants would control not just information, but the entire economy," and "level of centralized power incompatible with democracy." Author attribution (Andrew Yang, former 2020 US presidential candidate) is correct. Year 2026 is plausible for this recent piece. Vote "for" on statement 446 ("AGI could make governments subordinate to the companies that develop it") aligns perfectly with Yang's warning that if AGI and AI agents displace workers, a few tech giants would gain unprecedented economic power incompatible with democratic governance. Could not directly fetch notus.org (403 Forbidden) but web search excerpts strongly corroborate the quote.
