6 February 2018: Artificial Intelligence, Society, and Politics of the Future

Anupam Guha

Abstract:
At the dawn of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, this time centred around artificial intelligence there is both great peril and great hope. Great peril because currently demonstrated technology, if there are no radical socio-economic changes, will kill a significant percentage of Indian jobs and create precarity for the hundreds of millions of India’s workers, both formal and informal, from farmers to engineers. Great hope because the same technology could create a quantum leap in productivity and logistics enabling the potential formation of a radical national policy which could perhaps, if backed with political imagination and wisdom, lead to an emancipation of Indian labour. This fork in the road cannot be avoided.

There are reactionaries who will not look at AI critically and such a political dismissal of a titanic force will render us vulnerable, and there are also neoliberal technocrats who are enamoured with solutionism and who ignore the structural changes needed to make prosperity under AI possible. My talk will focus on, in the Indian context, the potentials of current AI, the need for a critical politically-educated look at it, the need for a radical rethink, beyond band-aid measures like UBI and robot taxes, towards the structural issues of work, wage, property, and public prosperity, and the possible futures of AI. In describing the above, my talk will also lay out the framework for a new kind of politics for the same.

  1. In a world where bigger is usually considered better, going a size bigger for men is something a lot of males consider. Especially T7 Power Max since it promises better experiences and a more satisfactory sex life, a larger size could be the solution to relationship problems a lot of couples go through. With the help of certain products, increase in girth, length, and rigidity of erection can be achieved.

  2. Recent healthcare trials show that Barrenwort offers the active component icariin. Vital Progenix Icariin raises penile blood circulation. If you've more blood circulation into the actual penis the end result is heavier, fuller, firmer and more durable erections. This is the reason why these penis enhancement pills has been used through 1000's associated with men everyday to enable them to have intercourse lives to become proud associated with and every single child fully sexually fulfill their partner every time.

  3. However, if you think you can just go online and buy these drugs, it's a strict 'NO' then. Prescription drugs must never be bought over the counter. You must always consult a doctor while taking them Perfect Keto Max or any other similar prescription medications. There are also many more things, which you need to keep in mind while taking these appetite suppressants.
