A very exciting overview of initiatives of AI resistance
The initiatives point toward a set of demands that any serious agenda for AI governance would need to confront.
- Transparency
- Participation
- The supply chain
- Who controls the infrastructure
The list constitutes something the industry denies – that AI is neither an unstoppable force nor beyond democratic contestation, and that people are willing to challenge its supposed inevitability.

@Madrigal this seems to fall under participation:
“Decisions about AI are being made too fast, in private, by a small number of powerful actors seeking to further enrich themselves, with no meaningful mechanism for those most affected to intervene. Policy responses committed to participation would require communities, workers, and affected people to have formal standing in decisions about AI development and deployment, not as perfunctory consultees, but as ultimate decision-makers”
Perhaps, but consent means the ability to opt out entirely, not just the right to be actively involved after being forced into the arrangement.
