Poll Of the Week

Should regulators step in to curb the dominance of OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google in the AI race?

As OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google DeepMind push the frontiers of artificial intelligence, critics warn of a growing concentration of power. Startups and open-source labs are struggling to compete, raising concerns about innovation bottlenecks, transparency, and long-term safety. Meanwhile, regulators in the U.S. and EU are beginning to scrutinize how AI models are developed, distributed, and monetized.
