Myaisha Hayes, Irna Landrum, Alli Finn, and Cinthya Rodriguez speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2025. This session was sponsored by Kairos Action.

Tech billionaires claim AI will save us—but decades of community experience tell another story. Governments and corporations use AI to extract our data and labor, and justify life-and-death decisions about our lives, especially Black, brown, and working class communities. Our taxes subsidize these harms, as the wealthiest corporations on the planet profit. Our session will cover what's missing in debates about AI, break down the power structures behind AI systems, and highlight opportunities for organizing and alternatives.

The next Socialism Conference will be held in Chicago, September 4-7, 2026. Learn more about the Socialism Conference at www.socialismconference.org.
