Surrounding words

The false opposition between State and market has been abandoned by developed nations, which have returned to practicing active industrial policies and strong regulation of the domestic economy. In the field of Artificial Intelligence, we are experiencing the consolidation of asymmetries that lead to a true oligopoly of knowledge. Unprecedented concentration in the hands of a small number of people and companies, headquartered in an even smaller number of countries, is advancing.

What this quote does not say

The next sentence specifies concentration in the hands of a small number of people and companies headquartered in an even smaller number of countries; the surrounding passage frames the issue through Global South representation, not as a claim about every form of AI inequality.

One that respects human rights, protects personal data, and promotes information integrity. And, above all, one that is a tool for peace, not war. We need intergovernmental governance of Artificial Intelligence, in which all States have a seat. Mr. President, The conditions for accessing financial resources remain prohibitive for most low- and middle-income countries.

What this quote does not say

The call appears in a broader argument for AI that reflects the Global South, strengthens cultural diversity, respects human rights, protects personal data and information integrity, and serves peace rather than war; the speech does not specify an institution, powers, or enforcement mechanism.
