Artificial Intelligence (AI) has seen major advances in recent
years. While machines were always central to the Marxist analysis
of capitalism, AI is a new kind of machine that Marx could not have
anticipated. Contemporary machine-learning AI allows machines to
increasingly approach human capacities for perception and reasoning
in narrow domains. This book explores the relationship between
Marxist theory and AI through the lenses of different theoretical
concepts, including surplus-value, labour, the general conditions
of production, class composition and surplus population. It argues
against left accelerationism and post-Operaismo thinkers, asserting
that a deeper analysis of AI produces a more complex and disturbing
picture of capitalism's future than has previously been identified.
Inhuman Power argues that on its current trajectory, AI represents
an ultimate weapon for capital. It will render humanity obsolete or
turn it into a species of transhumans working for a wage until the
heat death of the universe; a fate that is only avoidable by
communist revolution.
