Right Livelihood laureate Gebru: AI companies, not AI, are the real threat

Timnit Gebru, a prominent AI ethics researcher, used her Right Livelihood Award platform to argue that the concentration of power in AI companies poses a greater threat than the technology itself. This is a continuation of her long-standing critique of Big Tech, but the award amplifies her message to a broader audience. The claim is an opinion, not a factual development, and has no direct market impact.
