CAT Book Club: The Reverse Centaur's Guide to Life After AI

​A casual discussion about The Reverse Centaur's Guide to Life After AI by Cory Doctrow.

​It’s not enough to ask what the technology does – we must understand who it’s doing it for and who it’s doing it to

​As we enter the age of AI, we are in danger of being reduced to what Cory Doctorow dubs the ‘reverse centaur’. With that term he conjures a human being conscripted as the assistant to a dominant machine. It could be a driver made to deliver nonstop, all day long; a warehouse worker packing shelves without bathroom or food breaks; or a programmer reviewing impossible amounts of AI-produced code.

​We'll discuss the book and what we - as tech workers - can do in our roles and beyond.

​Everyone is welcome, even if you haven't read the book 🐱️
