Benjamin Selwyn argues that geopolitical rivalries have stimulated the development of advanced technologies which in turn then have helped to shape global supply chains.

Rezgar Akrawi — AI must be directed to serve as a tool for the liberation and respect of human rights, not for their restriction or violation.

Marty Hart-Landsberg — We need to seize the moment and begin building organized labor-community resistance to the unchecked development and deployment of AI systems.

Marty Hart-Landsberg — We can create more modest AI systems that assist workers and support socially beneficial work. But that is not the road corporations want to take.

Marty Hart-Landsberg — The uncritical and rapidly increasing adoption of AI systems by schools, businesses, the media, and the military represents a serious threat to our collective well-being. We need to push back, and push back hard, against this big tech offensive.

Marty Hart-Landsberg — The AI craze has gone on long enough for us to start drawing some plausible conclusions about where it is leading.

Michael Roberts — It is not Marx and Engels who disregard the role and value of nature, but rather the capitalists.

Michael Pröbsting — Many Marxists discuss the advantages and disadvantages of AI primarily from a technical point of view. Such an approach is the result of a theoretical wrong understanding of the relationship between productive forces and the relations of production.
