New book links AI and far-right ideology to '21st-century fascism'

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new book, "AI and the New Fascism," by Rainer Mühlhoff, argues that the convergence of artificial intelligence and ultra-right ideology is creating a digital infrastructure for 21st-century fascism. The book critiques the tech industry's narrative of AI as a savior, asserting that it is instead built on exploitation and algorithmic control.
