"n this urgent talk, Hao and Klein discuss the imperialistic mentalities of AI leadership and the impact of AI on energy, environment, labour, exploitation, militarism, mass surveillance, and the authoritarian control of information. After outlining the challenge ahead, they present a path towards resisting the 'inevitable' vision of AI presented by Big Tech.

Based on years of rare insider access to OpenAI and reporting across five continents, Karen Hao offers a gripping look at the forces shaping the AI revolution. Named one of TIME’s 100 most influential people in AI, Hao brings clarity and urgency to one of the defining issues of our time.

Naomi Klein is the co-director at the Centre for Climate Justice, Associate Professor of Climate Justice at UBC, and internationally renowned author of Doppelganger, This Changes Everything, The Shock Doctrine, and No Logo."—Chan Centre for the Performing Arts & Centre for Climate Justice

"The technical mechanism most commonly proposed for age verification is, depending on the specific implementation, either a government-issued identity document uploaded to a third-party verification service, or a biometric check, or a credit card confirmation, all of which require an individual to associate their real identity with their browsing behaviour before their connection is permitted. This is, it should be noted, structurally identical in concept to the white SIM architecture Iran formally institutionalised in July 2025: a system in which your identity, as documented and approved by a central authority, determines what you are permitted to access on the internet and under what conditions."—Keystone Collective @TheKeystoneCollective

The most politically significant event of January 8th, 2026, was not broadcast on television, did not trend on social media, and was not reported by wire services for several hours. It was visible, in real time, only to a small number of people staring at network monitoring dashboards, and what

Cadwalladr spells out the operations of Thiel's Palantir, and how it has gotten its claws into everything from NHS data to Britain's defence system."—PoliticsJOE

"Many viral videos capitalize on Palantir being the evil company bent on surveillance and elimination of your privacy. And though I've talked about what I understood about Palantir for over a decade, I didn't really truly understand what they did. So I did some deep research and instead of confirming what other people have said, I was surprised to arrive at a different conclusion -- that Palantir is not the bogey man. Oh yes, it is a tool that can be used to kill people, but who's pushing the buttons?"—Rob Braxman Tech

"Imagine you take a photo of your kid’s rash to send to the doctor…and a few hours later, police show up at your door. They’re not there because of a warrant or anyone complained. They’re there because your phone quietly reported you. Now imagine that same “snitch mode” running on every photo you take, every DM you send, every file you save—all before it’s encrypted, all without a judge ever signing off. That’s not science fiction. It’s called client-side scanning. Governments are actively pushing tech companies to turn it on, and big tech has already built most of the machinery."—Hampton Law
