To benefit society as a whole we need an AI public option-not to replace corporate AI but to serve as a counterbalance-as well as stronger democratic institutions to govern all of AI. Like public roads and the federal postal system, a public AI option could guarantee universal access to this transformative technology and set an implicit standard that private services must surpass to compete.
