As I've been winding down tour, I've turned down most requests. But when @novaramedia.com asked me to return, I immediately said yes. My first conversation with @aaronjbastani.bsky.social was a favorite. Grateful we had a reunion to reflect on everything a year on. 💗

On the one-year anniversary of EMPIRE OF AI, I am so, so excited to announce The AI Resist List, a new project that documents examples of resistance to the AI empires around the world 😍
airesistlist.org
The List underscores how the current trajectory of AI is not inevitable. Resistance is blossoming everywhere, and anyone can shape the future of AI development.
Amid an onslaught of negative news, this project centers hope.
I'm so honored to have been a part of a brilliant group of collaborators: @taniaduarte.bsky.social & her team at @weandai.bsky.social; @dylnbkr.bsky.social, @paulinewee.bsky.social, & Yemariam Mamo at @dairinstitute.bsky.social; @petramolnar.com & her team at Refugee Law Lab; and others.
Thus far it includes ~30 examples that range from the individual to institutional, from the artistic to the political. It also showcases 8 examples of "Possible Futures," projects already dreaming up and building alternatives to Silicon Valley's extractive, corrosive vision of AI development.
