Presenting the sixth issue of the Algorithms of Late-Capitalism zine: “AI Myths”

Digital Edition
Self-printing Edition

——————————————

Humanoid robots moving through the world with self-determination - set on destroying humanity. Sentient operating systems with infinite knowledge falling in love with one another. Silicon Valley vaporware promising to solve all the world’s problems - from cavities to global poverty.

When we think of Artificial Intelligence or AI, we usually conjure up fantastical images from science-fiction or the tech industry hype machine.

Yet, relying on these unstable myths can distract us from the important (and often problematic) realities of AI technologies. It is crucial to try and see what is hidden behind these myths. By demystifying AI, we can begin to understand the impact these technologies have on our societies, communities, cultures, and daily lives.
