Brendan O'Connor · Mark Little: ‘Technology doesn’t have a moral compass – WE need to rein it in and to push for that!’ · 21 Jun 2026 podcast

That's all kind of coming through in a way.

But I suppose the biggest thing for me has been this concentration of power in the hands of a tiny number.

of massive U.S.

companies, which has been the really unexpected thing for me, the extent that's happened, because we talked about the iPhone being a similar invention before that would change the way we thought about ourselves.

But we are very positive about previous ways of technology, the iPhone, the personal computer, even social media.

For the very first time, we are deeply scared.

The opinion polls are saying we're fearful of this new technology.

That's new.

And I think it's because we see these gigantic companies who've chosen a very narrow path, which is making chatbots and trying to make businesses more efficient.

And we suddenly realize there's a vested interest now in the people creating the AI to automate everything.

And it's a very narrow vision of AI that's not big enough, I don't think, to give us a sense of faith.

And so a fear is happening.

And there's one phrase I think we talked about last time.

I said to you that we are a 19th century democracy facing a 21st century technology.

And I think the reaction of the state, the government, the public to this challenge just has not kept up with the pace of the change.

So, you know, better in some ways, I thought, but the adoption, obviously more popular now,

but also more fearful, I think, than we talked about back then.

Yeah, I mean, there are three companies, OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google, who have about 90% of all the AI for business and about 80% of all the AI for consumers.

And they all hold it.

They're led by, you know, essentially individuals who don't get on with each other, by the way.
