Vinod Khosla argued consumers will need a personal AI whose only job is to represent their interests against corporate AI: "An AI that's loyal to the consumer—not to a particular company, a particular product, a particular point of view—is going to be very, very important."
zck added that if history is any guide, there will likely be a Ralph Nader of AI who builds pro-consumer tooling and scalps a large legacy company.
