From Ethics to Organizing: Getting Serious about AI
Part of the Hariri Institute for Computing's Inaugural Distinguished Speaker Series: AI and Inequalities - Creating Change Abstract:This talk examines the political economy driving the AI industry, and the capacity of AI to exacerbate inequality and facilitate minority rule. This talk will cover AI’s recent history and capacity for social control, and how movements for justice must go beyond corporate-sponsored “ethics” and a fascination with technical mechanisms to adopt more militant tactics that contend with concentrated power.
