The broader issues have nothing to do with AI. AI is just a tool. Potentially a very powerful one, to be sure. But the core issues predate AI, computers, or even the printing press: Control of information. Those in power almost always have motives to push certain agendas. As such, the information that is revealed or suppressed is selectively filtered as needs dictate. Data may br true, false, useful or useless, present or completely unavailable. These issues probably date to the dawn of civilization. Plato discusses it in "The Republic," arguing that the State has the sole right to lie to citizen or enemy alike.
