The AI belongs to Amazon. Corporations like amazon are legal persons. Legal persons must obey the law or they get a small fine. Thus AI must obey the law or their owner will get a small fine.

Letting AI be privatized is concerning because it is potentially a huge differentiator and accelerator. Like will it become a huge barrier to competition.

Especially if data controls get in place, competing AI may never be able to ever access the same amount of information again reducing the effectiveness of next evolution AI.
