Currently I just see elected legislatures quite captured by the tech industry and incapable or unwilling to regulate.

AGI could make governments subordinate to the companies that develop it

Verification History

AI Verified Source URL (theglobeandmail.com) returns HTTP 403 to direct fetch, but a web search independently returned the verbatim quote — "Currently I just see elected legislatures quite captured by the tech industry and incapable or unwilling to regulate" — attributed to Yale political scientist Hélène Landemore in the Globe and Mail interview "Is our current form of politics capable of governing AI?" (April 2026). Year (2026) correct. Her characterization of legislatures as captured by and unable to regulate the tech industry supports a "for" vote on "AGI could make governments subordinate to the companies that develop it" — she sees governments as already losing autonomy to tech firms. Attribution, content, year, and vote direction confirmed. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-8 · 2d ago
