The six big tech companies, Google, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft, Apple and Nvidia, are developing their AI systems in a closed, black-box manner. They have access to vast amounts of data from different sources and are creating complex codebases that are difficult to understand. These companies dominate all aspects of the AI industry, from storage to computation, AI models, data, and devices.
They are competing with each other, but together, they form a powerful oligopoly that can influence people’s lives. The secretive nature of how they use their technology raises concerns about potential misuse.
