I'm scared that big AI companies and copyright companies will successfully run a media campaign to turn public sentiment against AI, so they can easily pass laws meant to strengthen copyright, wall in all the data and create a monopoly around AI.

The job loss will happen regardless, but if three or so companies successfully position themselves as the only ones legally allowed to serve AI solutions, all the economic benefits will go to them. We won't be able to tax companies to pay for UBI if they are already being taxed by Google.
