[Podcast] Why AI under capitalism is a failure Featured Science & Technology Spectre of Communism Audio & Video Share TweetAdvances in artificial intelligence continue to make headlines, as AI has begun to play a role in everything from art and journalism to conspiracy theories and unemployment. While AI is clearly here to stay, it is equally clear that the capitalist class has no interest in using it to its fullest. Once again, capitalism’s brutal inefficiency and systematic misuse of such technology is profound evidence of the need for communism and economic planning.To discuss the real potential of AI and how this is squandered by the ruling class, this week’s episode of Spectre of Communism podcast welcomes Daniel Morley, a leading member of the Communists in Britain. Countering both the excessively jubilant and the existentially morbid approaches to AI that are common from capitalist commentators, Daniel gives a concrete appraisal of this technology in the class struggle today, and brings out some of the possibilities for the use of AI under a planned economy.For more on artificial intelligence and its role under capitalism, we recommend this article.And for more on the recent speculative bubble in the AI sector, see this article.Listen and subscribe belowSpotifyYoutubeApple PodcastsMarxist.com Podcasts:https://podcast.marxist.com/2024/04/02/why-ai-under-capitalism-is-a-failure/
