Description

The future of power and control hangs in the balance as we increasingly rely on predictive algorithms. Helga Nowotny explores the paradox at the heart of our trust in AI, where we seek to harness its efficiency while surrendering agency over the future. As AI shapes our experience of time and challenges our identities, it also poses a threat to traditional narratives of progress and control. By examining the limitations of AI and its impact on human agency, Nowotny offers a nuanced understanding of the complex relationships between technology, power, and society. In this thought-provoking analysis, Nowotny invites us to confront the uncertainty of the future and consider alternative paths forward, where care and transformation take precedence over control and surveillance.
