Against 'Pausing AI': Regulatory Monopolies Will Create a Permanent Underclass
bindureddy · x · 2026-08-12
AI entrepreneur Bindu Reddy strongly criticized the calls to 'Pause AI,' arguing that pausing AI research essentially advocates for a permanent underclass. Such policies would result in a small group of frontier labs monopolizing massive models with over 10 trillion parameters, leaving everyone else with nothing and eventually automated away by superintelligence. She claims that proponents of pausing AI are essentially supporting monopolies that will control the rest of humanity.
