Why This Book? And Why Now?
With the rapid developments in artificial intelligence and its growing influence on various aspects of life, it has become essential to provide a comprehensive leftist analysis of this key topic. AI has become a cornerstone in reshaping labor relations, production patterns, and managing public consciousness, surpassing traditional capitalist tools. The absence of a socialist analysis of AI allows capitalist elites to direct the discourse to serve their class interests. Therefore, we need an analysis that explains how AI is used not only as a tool for production but also as a means to control labor, consciousness, and restructure markets.
Why a Leftist Perspective on AI?
This book aims to provide an initial leftist critique of AI, exposing its connection to capital domination and exploring its potential as a tool for liberation within a socialist framework. It is not only theoretical but an attempt to spark a leftist debate on how to reclaim technology from corporations and major states to serve social justice, equality, and democracy.[1]
