Resisting AI
An Anti-fascist Approach to Artificial Intelligence
Book • 2022
In this book, Dan McQuillan analyzes AI's deep learning technology and its political effects, highlighting the need to resist AI as it currently exists and restructure it to prioritize the common good.
He advocates for an anti-fascist approach to AI, replacing exclusions with caring and proposing people’s councils as a mechanism for restructuring AI through mutual aid.
The book is academically rigorous yet accessible, aiming to challenge the social logic of AI by reasserting the importance of collective freedom and human values.
