Taking action to even the distribution of wealth & power anywhere in the world is a good idea. this has always been true. The Machine Learning Revolution is just making it more urgently true.

That said it's a bad idea to have the state:

- pick the winners (who will just end up being the ones who lobby the most)

- pick the industry (what even counts as "AI"? machine learning is applicable to to every domain)

It's a scam, like the crypto "reserve."
