Explore a thought-provoking conference talk from the 38th Chaos Communication Congress that examines artificial intelligence's role in a post-capitalist world. Delve into how current AI technologies, particularly large language models, fit into a society potentially based on cooperation rather than competition, need fulfillment rather than profit, and solidarity rather than private property. Learn how economic power manifests in AI development and how these technologies relate to broader technological critique. Presented jointly by Malte Engeler and Sandra Sieron, analyze whether pattern recognition, deep learning, and language models could either aid or hinder the path toward a better world, while questioning their societal value beyond investor profits. Understand how AI fits into the larger context of technological investments following blockchain, metaverse, and Web3, and consider its potential role in a radically different economic system.
