Artificial intelligence (AI) is a major topic of conversation at this year’s World Economic Forum meeting of the world’s elites in Davos, Switzerland, both on the public stages and in the private suites where most of the real business is conducted.

It will, however, have the opposite impact due to its development under capitalism’s social relations, which are predicated on private ownership of the means of production (including so-called intellectual property) and the extraction of private profit.

Put another way, the development of AI will, in the view of the major capitalist powers and the business motive, exacerbate global social inequality and destitution rather than serve as a means of reversing it.
