In this session in our series on #AI in universities, we will discuss every way in which AI finds its way into our #research right now - our own research being used to train AI, using AI in our own research, and reading research papers that used AI.
☀️ Students, academic and professional service staff all welcome!
#Technocracy and fascist politics are being embraced by megalomaniac elites scheming for their own survival

This effectively silences epistemically and institutionally authoritative voices which are critical of the business model, research direction, value alignment and general forcing of useless shit on us to keep their shareholders happy.
This subverts any genuine possibility of a collective, democratic, consensual defining of the good future. Instead, they ensure that THEIR vision of the future is hegemonic.
Those who can, must resist.
Israel continues to commit genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, enabled by the global political economy.
Time for the EU to #PullThePlug

#PullThePlug - a group of people trying to slow down the adoption of #AI without proper controls, is having a Zoom meeting tonight, 7pm UK time.

Last Saturday I was at the #MarchAgainstTheMachines organised by #PullThePlug. It was the first march of protest against the direction of #AI development in the UK and called for true democratic control of our future through a #CitizensAssemblyNow. A nice video has been released. If you support, please RT.
