Futures of AI, barrios & Anarcho-Syndychalism
This workshop explores the intersection of AI narratives and post-national urban futures, using the concepts of "Kiez" and anarcho-syndicalism as foundational elements.
Participants will first delve into the various AI narratives identified in our research, such as "AI as a Technological Evolution," "AI & Human Dynamics," and "AI on a Societal Level," to understand how these stories shape our perception of AI and its potential impact on society. We'll share about the meaning of Kiez (barrio), and anarchosyndycalism and invite you to use those concepts and principles of to reimagine city governance and social structures.
You will explore how AI could facilitate decentralised decision-making processes, worker-managed industries, and community-driven urban development in a post-national context. Through collaborative exercises and discussions, you will draft rules and regulations on where AI systems support anarcho-syndicalist principles, potentially addressing issues such as resource allocation, democratic participation, and sustainable urban planning beyond the constraints of nation-states.
Domestic Data Streamers is welcoming us in their offices so we'll have a lot of space to think, reflect and collaborate.
Thank you for being so accomodating!
