Bridget Todd explores how AI is reshaping our desires, our systems, and our futures.
Every day, AI-powered tools are used to watch our movements; what we post online, where we go, and what we like. Imagine if we could flip this reality to watch those in power and hold them accountable.
In this special bonus episode recorded live in November at Mozilla Festival in Barcelona, Bridget talks to two brilliant technologists about how AI can be used as a force for good to supercharge collective action, what it means to resist algorithmic oppression, build counter-narratives through data, and imagine AI that serves the public good.
Guests: Simona Levi, Airi Dordas
