Interdependence

CHAPTER

AI, Power, and Society

This chapter explores the complex interplay between artificial intelligence and its socio-political and ecological implications, emphasizing AI as a construct deeply woven into human labor and power dynamics. The discussion highlights a project, 'Anatomy of AI,' which examines the resource extraction and economic inequalities underpinning technologies like Amazon's Echo. By analyzing the consolidation of technocratic power and questioning the understanding of equality in access to information, the chapter urges a reevaluation of economic structures in light of the disparities exacerbated by recent societal shifts.
