Every time you ask ChatGPT to proofread your email you quietly borrow from the labour of millions. In this sense, cultural production has already become a planetary co-operative. Updating its funding mechanism accordingly is necessary: it is time to socialise AI’s inputs.

Cultural production has already become a planetary co-operative. Aligning its funding mechanism accordingly is necessary. We can reach that alignment the smart way or the hard way, but reach it we will.

As digital platforms are increasingly leveraged to shape politics across borders, problems of sovereignty and accountability have become impossible to ignore. The debate has now shifted from from identifying the problem to working out solutions. Great chat yesterday at @iipp-ucl.bsky.social
