Adam and Will are joined by Dan McQuillan, a lecturer in creative
and social computing, to discuss his book "Resisting AI: An
Anti-Fascist Approach to Artificial Intelligence", an essential
read to understand the computational processes of optimization,
dataification, and efficiency that are sold to as 'AI' solutions
to social problems, but instead serve to intensify forms of
control and oppression in contemporary capitalist society. We
discuss the meaning of neural networks and machine learning, the
colonial and eugenic roots of the 'AI' view of the world, and how
to resist it philosophically through new materialist, feminist,
and indigenous approaches to science, as well as politically
through non-representational worker and democratic
councils.
