Our new article draws from the recent history of tech worker organizing to argue that workers, if organized, can play an important role in shaping the future of the tech sector. Ty @seyramavle and @perhaxis for inviting us to contribute.

Excited to share this paper! The key takeaway is that the workplace is another arena in which AI reproduces existing inequalities: AI-related harms inflicted on gig/low-waged workers remain unresolved at a higher rate than those inflicted on professionals/high-waged workers.

My book is now available to download for free! Just like in nature, where survival hinges on adaptation, this book analyses how nations exploit (or get pushed from) new dynamics of structural transformation induced by climate. Let me know what you think! cambridge.org/core/elements/…

Shame on @BrownUniversity. Solidarity with @BrownDivest. Free Palestine 🇵🇸

Students found at the encampment are beginning to receive letters from @BrownUniversity saying they must either admit to breaking rules or submit to a review process by Monday at 5pm. The school is saying seniors may graduate late if they don’t confess and are found guilty.

In 1987, the MIT Coalition Against Apartheid protested against MIT's ties to apartheid South Africa by erecting a shantytown. Today, in the same location, students are protesting MIT's ties to genocide & apartheid in Palestine via the Scientists Against Genocide encampment. 🇵🇸

Awesome to see this work finally in print! Our chapter looks at the role of workers in keeping AI accountable. We draw from the @tech_actions database to develop our theoretical model.
