Technology and Power 001

A new technological reality is pressing upon us: quantum, AI, and our daily digital infrastructures are increasingly doubling up as weapons systems intertwined with genocide and war. How are emerging technologies shaping and enacting power?  

Technology and Power is a discussion series hosted by Dr Jaya Klara Brekke, gathering technologists and activists at the forefront of a new technological reality. The series examines what it means to inhabit a world of extreme contradictions and to conspire together towards an anti-fascist technological future.
