SUMMARY:The Luddite Conference on Participatory Futures | The New School
DESCRIPTION:With companies like OpenAI taking Pentagon contracts and Elon Musk using government resources to scrape Americans’ data\, it’s hard to feel that there are any tangible ways to resist the techno-fascist backslide. To regain a sense of social agency\, we are convening a participatory conference inspired by the Luddite movement. We will tackle questions such as: What is the relationship between Silicon Valley and the Pentagon? What are the social and political consequences of new AI technologies? And what can we do in response? \nPlease join us for a day of learning how Big Tech brought us to this existentially threatening moment\, and how we can reclaim personal and collective agency for a participatory future. \nOur speakers will include William Hartung (author of Trillion Dollar War Machine)\, Koohan Paik-Mander (co-founder of the Tech-Critics Network)\, and Juan Sebastian Pinto (Colorado People’s Caucus on AI).
