How do you think communities might leverage their own AIs to their benefit? (lemm.ee)

It's easy to doom and gloom about big businesses building their big data scraping AI to consolidate even more control and wealth, given that the odds are unfortunately in their favor.

However, AI presents yet another technological turning point for the public in a similar way to mass mechanical automation, and so, how might one imagine communities building their own to help themselves? How might communities use these tools to retain and make more use of their own accumulated data rather than continue to give it up to big businesses?

a lot of training data that is expensive to put together.

Isn't training data simply data? If a community were to agree to pool their data together to enable the AI, wouldn't that bypass the cost issue? Or is this one of those situations where the amount of data required thoroughly demonstrates how much businesses have arguably stolen from the public, and in turn no community may produce sufficient data to enable their AI tools to the same degree?
