‘Not Your Keys, Not Your Bots’: Balaji Srinivasan Maps a Leashed AI Future

TL;DR


Summary:

• **What are AI "bots" and why do they matter?** Artificial intelligence (AI) is computer software that can think and make decisions like humans do. Balaji Srinivasan is talking about who should control these AI bots—the people who created them or the people who use them. He thinks people should have more control over their own AI, kind of like how you own your own toys instead of renting them.

• **The idea of "keys" and ownership:** Just like a key unlocks a door that belongs to you, Srinivasan believes people should have special "keys" or passwords that let them truly own and control their AI helpers. If you don't have the keys, someone else controls your AI, which means they can decide what it does and how it behaves—and that might not always be fair to you.
