American AI Smoke Screen - When Government Serves Corporations, Not Families

Greg Twemlow's article critiques a hypothetical American AI Action Plan, asserting it prioritises corporate dominance and geopolitical competition over the well-being of American families. The author, Greg Twemlow, argues the plan employs vague language and "trickle-down AI" promises that lack measurable outcomes and accountability for citizens. It's presented as corporate welfare disguised as national strategy, potentially leading to increased inequality and a future he terms "AI apartheid." Twemlow advocates for a "Reflection Interval®" and a civic co-design ethic that places families and their quality of life at the centre of AI development, rather than merely serving private enterprise.
