I had an interesting conversation today about nationalization of AI services that brought up an issue I hadn't really thought through around demographics of the affected population. He went on to point out that the majority of jobs being automated is currently around high educated workers that often tend to lean towards democratic voters. Pointing that they are likely to seek nationalization for protection of their employment. This opened my eyes that I've not considered the demographics of AI automation for political action. Under the current administration, I'd argue, the protected class is around businesses and investors though he pointed out the military would also seek to nationalize for their use. I personally think the military is a different beast around nationalization though. Tl:dr it'll be interesting to see how the government approaches regulating AI for protectionism
