Karen Hao Launches AI Resist List to Document Global Pushback
Inspired by Choose Democracy’s Resist List (http://choosedemocracy.us/resist-list/) against authoritarianism, the AI Resist List organizes resistance movements based on how they pressure different “Pillars of Support” that uphold and perpetuate the empires.

On the one-year anniversary of EMPIRE OF AI, I am so, so excited to announce The AI Resist List, a new project that documents examples of resistance to the AI empires around the world. http://airesistlist.org
Thus far it includes ~30 examples that range from the individual to institutional, from the artistic to the political. It also showcases 8 examples of "Possible Futures," projects already dreaming up and building alternatives to Silicon Valley's extractive, corrosive vision of AI development.

I'm so honored to have been a part of a brilliant group of collaborators from @WeandAI, @DAIRInstitute, and @RefugeeLawLab; and including independent researchers and journalists.
The List underscores how the current trajectory of AI is not inevitable. Resistance is blossoming everywhere, and anyone can shape the future of AI development. Amid an onslaught of negative news, this project centers hope.
