A reading group for hopeful technologists #3: Resisting AI
For reading group #3, Dan McQuillan will join us for a Q&A to discuss his book Resisting AI, followed by small group discussions. (Buy the paperback from Bookshop.org.uk, your favourite anti-fascist bookshop, or borrow it from your local library.)
This is a gentle, shared space to come together as an act of hopeful resistance and solidarity building.
Who's it for?
People who work in, make, study or just spend too much time thinking about technology, who want to build and shape equitable alternatives to the techno-optimistic AI brotopia.
What will we do?
Come along having read Dan McQuillan's Resisting AI and we'll spend an hour talking about the book and related topics.
Gently Self-Organised
Dan has kindly agreed to join for a Q&A and, if more 12 people come along, we'll split into small groups to discuss the book.
If you're the sort of person who likes to be prepared, here's a video (26 mins) of Dan talking about the themes in the book. I'll share some possible themes for discussion nearer the time.
