Unless the rich somehow manage to completely stifle the progress of consumer-level computing advancement (all chip manufacturers would just collude to quit selling to consumers?) and exert an iron-fisted control over the dissemination of software (when has this ever worked?), I'm not sure how they could control the democratization of AI.
All the chip manufacturers? Nvidia makes most of what’s running the current AI at least and they do seem to be pivoting away from the consumer market

Well, someone with money could go buy 100% of RAM production for the next 3 years.
