So- called "A.I." is the collective product of billions of human beings over many years online. "A chatbot is a collectivity," says Richard RJ Eskow. As a result, the only ethical way to own and manage it is collectively. In this episode of "All For All," Richard explains how the technology of A.I. works and why it's not "intelligent" at all. He highlights its exploitation of low-wage workers, discusses its effect on the environment, and challenges the mythologizing of A.I. as "super-intelligence." "Whatever your economic philosophy," Richard says, "I hope to convince you that socialist governance is the only way to make sure that human rights prevail against corporate power."
