That's a bit like someone in the early 20th century wondering whether cars, plastics and chemical fertilizers will be reserved for the elites, while the poor keep riding horses, using wooden and metal objects and eating organic food. See how quaint that concern sounds? In a similar way, most post-singularity wonders we anticipate, like enduring perfect health and youth and a seemingly luxurious lifestyle , will be cheap parlor tricks nobody will care about, let alone trying to keep them away from the masses.

And to what end would they even try, when AI agents will be better servants than any human slave ever could? In fact, the main risk involving evil elites is that they may simply decide to get rid of everyone else, but they just won't have the political power to do that.

I do expect that there will be conflict about how resources are used, what risks are deemed acceptable and what governance structures and bodies should call the shots, but the relevant issues will be on a scale spanning the whole galaxy and beyond and millions of years into the future.
