Join us for the next AI Justice PoliEd night to learn about "The Impossibility of Health under AI".

Our health is inescapable, we are all patients.

The healthcare industry commands nearly $5 trillion in national spending, about 17.6% of GDP, while our health outcomes continue to stagnate, or in many cases, decline. For the markets, this presents incredible opportunities for predation and extraction across a landscape of inefficiencies. How are companies positioned to orient algorithms to take advantage of this?

Click here to view the syllabus with recommended readings.

Together, we will investigate:

• How companies use error-prone algorithms knowing patients are unlikely to fight back.
• How AI chatbots are replacing human connection in mental health care
• How automated risk assessments are reshaping social work, subjecting vulnerable communities to surveillance rather than support
• How the gig economy is cannibalizing the nursing profession, turning care work into precarious, extractive labor and driving burnout at the bedside

A hybrid Zoom link will be sent to those who RSVP. We hope to see you there! :)

? NYC- DSA Tech Action Working Group

The NYC-DSA Tech Action Working Group hosts monthly AI Justice Political Education Nights to explore artificial intelligence through a socialist lens. These teach-ins/discussion groups will spotlight specific policy areas and legislative efforts related to tech justice. We will bring in guest speakers and collaborate with partner organizations to illuminate the real-world stakes of AI governance.

Our goal is to foster a vibrant, cross-disciplinary community. We aim to bridge knowledge gaps, encourage deep dialogue across fields, and advance equitable political education around AI, so we can collectively shape a just and democratic future in the age of AI. The group meets monthly on Wednesdays at 7 pm. Click here to view the syllabus.
