About this Event
A short, provocative guide to what's good, bad, and stupid about AI and the discourse around AI, by the author of Enshittification.
is not another anti-AI screed. Cory Doctorow uses AI in his work every day. As a creative person, he has no moral or dogmatic issue with it—he thinks the technology is useful, even exciting, and full of potential. And yet.
For Doctorow, it is imperative to see through the hype to the real story, to understand the technology not just for what it does, but for who it does it to and who for. Doctorow recounts both how we found ourselves in this dire situation and how we can get through it, to a life “after” AI in which the tools work for us, not the other way around.
