At the enterprise-level, companies that are not technically savvy, are easily misled by complicated Ai solutions. Major AI companies intentionally take advantage of the common illiteracy in AI by oversimplifying and even undermining more serious AI democratization approaches. Similarly to data ownership, concerns are raised on the dangerous monopolization of AI technologies by only a few organizations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-399ad59 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"399ad59\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d65b9a5\" data-id=\"d65b9a5\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9751b5b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9751b5b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Network Effect<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3c9bf82 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3c9bf82\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5c3803e\" data-id=\"5c3803e\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0f4754d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0f4754d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>An extension of such monopolization is the <em>\u201cnetwork effect\u201d<\/em>, a social and economic phenomenon where an increased number of users improves the value of a good or service in turn attracting more participants and triggering a virtuous cycle.
