AI is not some force of nature or hyperrational, ineffable entity. Instead, he reminds us, AI is ultimately another commercial product, one emerging at a point in history when excessive power over commerce and the wider society has amassed in a vanishingly small number of hands.
Demystifying AI as 'another commercial product' is a counter-narrative to both the techno-utopian and techno-dystopian frames that dominate public discourse. By locating AI within existing structures of capital concentration, the encyclical sidesteps the AGI debate entirely and grounds the ethical question in political economy: who owns the technology and who profits from it.

The people are the judges of the laws and of plays; but they can never be the makers of them.
Everybody wants all this accountability & responsibility, but nobody has the time / expertise; if division of labor specialization works in economic matters (broadly), does it also not work in matters of social organization & political economy?

Infrastructures, for Collier, are amixture of political rationality, administrative techniques, and material systems, and his interest isnot in infrastructure per se but in what it tells us about practices of government. Soviet electricityprovision, through this lens, is analyzed for how it reveals a system of total planning in a commandeconomy rather than for what it tells us about the effects of electricity on users in Russia.
It's never really about what is in front of us when it comes to politics.. there is always more to it.. His theory is a tool we could study to learn about a country/society's government by looking at the infrastructure they've created.
