Why We Fear AI w/ Hagen Blix

from Block & Build · host Cayden Mak

In this episode we discuss how the accelerating hype of the "artificial intelligence" race affects left political theory and movements. Cayden talks to co-author of the new book Why We Fear AI: On The Interpretation of Nightmares, Hagen Blix. We’ll explore how the seeming inevitability of AI is intertwined with neoliberalism as well as how we urgently need to figure out how to narrate the development of technology for ourselves – so that the billionaires don’t do it for us.
