Fighting the Machine? De-Mystifying Technology under Capitalism = Fighting the Machine? De-Mystifying Technology under Capitalism

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

As the pandemic rages on the need to trace, test and track the body have become of central importance. These technologies also raise alarm bells in people and rightfully so, considering the leaps made in favour of capitalism which relies on these technologies for surveillance. In such times, the question of surveillance capitalism and artificial learning is as much about the ontological nature of machine-human relations as much as it is about the social organization of relations between them. This paper will investigate the danger of isolating the uses of artificial intelligence-as-technological-mystification from the political system it is governed within. It also points at the dangers of substituting politics with a policy-driven approach to mitigate the effects of capitalist corruption of human and technological potentialities. Finally the paper discusses the need for reimagining equality beyond the frame of data-privacy as a defense against a seemingly engulfing technological bio-capitalism.
