I think you underestimate the power foreign governments will have and will use if we are relying on foreign AI in our everyday lives.

When we ask it questions, an AI can tailor its answers to change peoples opinions and how people think. They would have the power to influence elections, our values, our sense of right and wrong.

That's before we start allowing AI to just start making purchasing decisions for us with little or no oversight.

The only answer I see is for us all to have our own AI's that we have trained, understand, and trust. For me this means it runs on my hardware and answers only to me. (And not locked behind regulation)
