People’s Forum on Artificial Intelligence
Hosted by Seattle DSA, Troublemakers, and 350 Seattle
Join us for a series of community discussions exploring the real-world power and politics behind artificial intelligence (AI) - from the data centers that drain our water and energy, to the algorithms transforming work, democracy, and daily life. This isn’t a tech talk; it’s a people’s conversation about who controls the future - and how we can fight for one that serves the public good. From labor rights to climate justice, we’ll unpack the material, political, and ecological stakes of AI — and build the understanding and solidarity we’ll need to push back.
