Beth Simone Noveck, " How AI can be good for democracy ", NYT 10/6/2026:

Governments can also use their enormous purchasing power to demand more from A.I. companies and to build more A.I. with them. In return for providing government funding, South Korea is securing contracts with multiple tech and telecom companies to give A.I. access to all of its 51 million citizens.

Giving AI access to everyone! That sounds like a good idea, right?

But wait a minute, what's the syntax here? Is access to AI being given to all of the citizens? Or is AI being given access to all of the citizens?

Why not both?…
