Writer and activist Arundhati Roy has discussed artificial intelligence and her new essay, “Apocalypse Now and Then: Artificial Intelligence is Capitalism’s Final Destination”, in an interview published by Democracy Now! on 23 October.
Why it mattersThe title makes a pointed argument about who AI serves and what its expansion means. The supplied account does not give enough of Roy’s reasoning to go further without putting words in her mouth. A grand claim, then, but the useful debate is about its evidence.
Discuss: Does AI’s development look like a distinct technological shift, or an extension of the economic power structures that already shape society?
