I was interviewed by Diyar Saraçoğlu, translator of 'Yapay Zekâya Direnmek' (the Turkish edition of ‘Resisting AI’), for their series on The Political Construction of Artificial Intelligence
The problem is that this isn't confined to LinkedIn-slop. Musk's DOGE minions are doing exactly the same thing inside federal agencies. AI won't give a useful answer to a factual question, but it'll still give an answer no matter how conspiratorial or delusional the question is.
There is no more tech policy, only technopolitics. The liberal rules-based order has past & power is uninterested in performing reforms. Advocating tech sustainability, regulation and inclusion makes us the enemy within, and we need to focus on movement building and resistance.
When I wrote 'Resisting AI - An Anti-fascist Approach to Artificial Intelligence' my publisher was told by distributors in the USA they wouldn't carry it because of the 'antifa' in the title. Seems ironic, given the takeover of their country by actual technofascism.
Uni of California Press says of a new volume: "The first book to draw a direct line between the datafication and prediction techniques of past eugenicists and today's often violent and extractive 'big data' regimes'". I say "Wtf? Read Resisting AI!" https://bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/resisting-ai"
Today the Nerd Reich (as Gil Duran names it) comes to power in Trump's wake. In 'Resisting AI - An Anti-fascist Approach to Artificial Intelligence' https://bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/resisting-ai I wrote about forms of resistance to technofascistic solutionism. Other worlds are still possible ✊
