Authoritarian Intelligence

AI – Authoritarian Intelligence

It all starts with Efficiency. Utility. Competence. Even comfort. Technology evolves, society progresses, but the basics remain the same.

But the prophecy for a resistance-free, friction-free, obstacle-free, efficient life, is also promoted and propagated by the tech bro-ligarchy, wannabe and actual dictators, and as it always has been, it’s in the minds and hearts of fascists and techno-utopians everywhere.

AI is the last in a list of tech acronyms diluting our trust in journalism, science, government and any type of actual professionals, “democratizing” the ability to manipulate reality, sow distrust and create a tsunami of anti-trust.

This panel will discuss how AI is used as an instrument of authoritarianism, the mechanisms and narratives around it and how we can effectively defend ourselves against it.

FR, 01. May
