One Kansas legislator says it’s time the state took control of AI and how it affects Kansas, declaring that when a few billion-dollar firms lock up tools everyone needs, Kansas pay the price.
Rep. Samantha Poetter Parshall, writing in The Kansas Informer, said “When one corporation controls the tools, out come the bloated contracts, mystery fees, and forced “upgrades.” Bills that land on schools, hospitals and government agencies first. That’s taxpayer money taking a one-way flight to Silicon Valley, and I’m tired of waving goodbye.”
In plain talk, she continued, “Shrugging it off as “too complicated” hands our kids’ future to boardrooms that couldn’t find Dodge City on a map. Our forebears refused to let one power company dim every porch light from Liberal to Leavenworth; we shouldn’t let one tech behemoth dim our economy now.”
