Doesn't it feel like this particular use of artificial intelligence is just a way of stopping general purpose computing in the marketplace?

I mean "artificial intelligence" would still need to be licensed by the user at the end of the day. Does no devices mean no ownership?

Great Questions. This is a huge paradigm shift that will cause a ton of growing pains for the tech industry and governments. A simple case study would that of Uber and their adoption of non-government based background checks. Is it in our best interest for the government to perform the background checks for drivers? Who knows...but problems like these need answers.
