Welcome to this open lecture that examines the hidden power structures behind AI and explores alternative approaches for building technologies that serve the common good.
In this talk with speaker Amir Hossein Payberah, we examine how power operates in the design and deployment of AI systems. We analyze how current practices prioritize scale, automation, and optimization, often reinforcing global inequalities and ecological harm. Drawing on research in data justice, intersectional feminist studies, and political ecology, we argue that AI systems are shaped by social and political choices, not just technical ones. As an alternative, we explore participatory design and community-centered approaches as strategies for redistributing power and building AI systems that serve the common good.
No registration, just show up at Salongen at the appointed time! Free lunch from 12:00 for the first 40 – first come, first served.
This lecture is part of the Nobel Calling Stockholm 2025 program.
