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.

Session 2: Demystifying AI — Power, Labor, and Control
Monday, December 8 | 6–8 PM | Prospect UCC
AI isn’t magic — it’s built on vast amounts of data, energy, and labor. Who controls it, and who profits? How is automation reshaping jobs, surveillance, and power?

Free and open to the public.
Light refreshments provided. (Potluck — bring a dish if you’re inspired!)
