Isn't it pretty uncontroversial that AI and automation will only worse inequality?

We can only hope that the inevitable revolutions to come will not be crushed by the all-seeing AI surveillance and AI-powered robot armies of our wealthy overlords before they even get a chance to become a threat to them.

Supreme Leader Xi of China is certainly hoping that this will be the outcome of the government's aggressive investment in AI technologies.
