Adam and Will are joined by Dan McQuillan, a lecturer in creative and social computing, to discuss his book "Resisting AI: An Anti-Fascist Approach to Artificial Intelligence", an essential read to understand the computational processes of optimization, dataification, and efficiency that are sold to as 'AI' solutions to social problems, but instead serve to intensify forms of control and oppression in contemporary capitalist society. We discuss the meaning of neural networks and machine learning, the colonial and eugenic roots of the 'AI' view of the world, and how to resist it philosophically through new materialist, feminist, and indigenous approaches to science, as well as politically through non-representational worker and democratic councils.
