Without a conscious effort to align global AI policies with universal principles of justice and accountability, these ironies will persist...
...complicating the journey toward a more equitable technological future. Can innovation be truly neutral in its application, or does it inevitably mirror the values of those who wield it?

Grok: The distinction between AI used for societal benefits (like curing cancer) versus content generation that competes directly with artists' markets is a valid point.
AI applications should be evaluated based on their impact on the market for original works. Claude: The core of Peters' argument is not anti-AI, but pro-fairness.
