We believe it is critical that the UK does not become dependent on US technologies which echo the corporate interests of Big Tech.</p>

Exploring changes in the actors, issues, values and contexts of media and communications, it investigates the crossroads that media policy is facing and offers visions for the future. A diverse range of scholars and expert practitioners discuss what regulatory reforms and governing mechanisms are required to advance democratic participation and fundamental rights in platform societies.</p><p>Organized around five sections, the volume considers the geopolitics of emerging communication orders; the changing roles of actors and stakeholders; the challenge of embedding rights and values in regulatory arrangements; the intersection of technology and policy; and the need to rethink epistemologies and methodologies for researching this field.</p><p>Contributions from different disciplines and cultural backgrounds include provocative think pieces and longer analyses.

E Rosalie<p>🧵 Thread on AI and Big Tech Dominance </p><p>Big Tech's grip on AI is undeniable. Companies like Microsoft, Amazon, and Google are not just tech giants; they're the backbone of AI development and deployment. Most AI startups and labs depend on their infrastructure. </p><p>This concentration of power in AI isn't just a market issue; it's a democratic one. Relying on a few corporate giants for essential AI infrastructure raises concerns about democracy, culture, and individual agency. </p><p>Remember Cambridge Analytica? It's one example of the risks posed by concentrated AI power. This setup creates vulnerabilities and systemic risks, as noted by SEC chair Gary Gensler. 📉🔒</p><p>Even open-source AI initiatives, like Meta's LLaMA-2 or Eleuther's Pythia, can't fully break free from industry concentration. The term "open-source AI" is complex and varied in its meaning. 🔓</p><p>The AI industry's business model heavily relies on cloud profits for Big Tech. AI services are often bundled with cloud infrastructure, reflecting a dependency that's hard to break. </p><p>Regulation could be a solution, but it often ends up reinforcing Big Tech's power. Microsoft's recent £2.5 billion investment in UK cloud infrastructure is a prime example of this dynamic. 💰</p><p>Big Tech companies are using their economic and political clout to maintain dominance. From lobbying efforts to strategic investments, they're actively shaping AI policies and regulations. 🏛️💪</p><p>AI's future is heavily influenced by Big Tech's infrastructure and policy maneuvers. This dominance poses challenges for market competition, democratic values, and the shaping of AI's ethical and societal impacts.</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/BigTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BigTech</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/TechnologyPolicy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TechnologyPolicy</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/DigitalDemocracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalDemocracy</span></a> 🤖🌍👁️ </p><p><a href="https://www.technologyreview.com/2023/12/05/1084393/make-no-mistake-ai-is-owned-by-big-tech/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">technologyreview.com/2023/12/0</span><span class="invisible">5/1084393/make-no-mistake-ai-is-owned-by-big-tech/</span></a></p>
