A Bull in a China Shop: The Cost of Hyper Scale AI to Our Climate and Democracy

As Big Tech rapidly expands generative AI, what impact is it having on social infrastructure, the working class, our climate, and the survival of democracy?

How can philanthropy and investors support offensive organizing to disrupt “tech determinism” and advance more vibrant and sustainable futures?

What strategies can help communities in New York, Alabama, Michigan, and across the country remain in the decision-making seat as they confront the false promise of unchecked AI development at all costs?

Let’s talk about it with Canadian tech critic and host of the acclaimed Tech Won’t Save Us podcast, Paris Marx—author of Hyperscale: The Ambition and Excess of Big Tech’s Data Empires—joins multisector leaders Andrea Pierce of Michigan Environmental Justice Coalition (MEJC), Jilisa Milton of Greater-Birmingham Alliance to Stop Pollution (GASP), Ryan Madden of NY Renews, Steven Renderos of MediaJustice, and Clare Winterton of The Solutions Project.
