The premise
AI products create power asymmetries that disadvantage users; transparency and education reduce the gap.
What AI does well here
- Build AI products with transparency about how AI is used
- Provide user controls (opt-out, customization, deletion)
- Educate users about AI involvement (not just bury in TOS)
- Engage critics constructively
What AI cannot do
- Eliminate asymmetries through marketing
- Substitute transparency theater for actual user power
- Make every user equally AI-literate
