How this risk is described and categorized.

"The increasing power and influence of large corporations may make effective governance difficult. There exists a power asymmetry between corporate entities profiting from LLMs and other social groups (e.g. civil society). State-of-the-art LLMs are developed by or in partnership with, some of the world’s largest private tech companies...This poses a risk of governance protocols related to LLMs becoming excessively favorable to tech companies, potentially leading to regulatory capture at the cost of the interests of other societal groups, particularly marginalized communities who have historically been disproportionately affected by poorly designed AI technologies (Reventlow, 2021)."
