"The degree to which AI is able to harm our society and environment will depend on how best we can organise in opposition to those harms."
New blog from @djbailey231.bsky.social and Masoumeh Iran Mansouri on why we need to #ResistAI

Bristol University Press @brisunipress.bsky.social · Aug 15

@djbailey231.bsky.social and Masoumeh Iran Mansouri argue that while #AI’s rapid rise offers immense promise, its grave risks may outpace weak safeguards like the EU’s AI Act unless met with far stronger resistance: buff.ly/nVBFBQj

In the age of AI realism, where do we stand – willing enablers, passive observers or active resisters? - Transforming Society

Author: Gerardo Costabile Nicoletta
The commentary aims to provoke a discussion in Critical Political Economy (CPE) about local articulations of neoliberalism, proposing the concept of ordoliberal communitarianism as a theoretical practice to sabotage the hegemonic essentialisation of ‘the local community’ within the context of EU neoliberal constitutionalism. This conceptual pr... Show More
