What do we really know about artificial intelligence? How does it work? Who controls it? And what happens when we delegate important decisions to algorithms full of biases?

Margarita Padilla traces the history of AI to explain, in an accessible way, the fallacies of technological solutionism and the dangers of blindly trusting these technologies. But the book doesn’t stop at pointing out the problems: it proposes taking action. It’s not enough to demand better regulations. We need to get our hands dirty, take the machine apart, and put it back together again. Create workshop dynamics, investigate, experiment, and build alternatives through conflict and collective knowledge.

Artificial intelligence raises enormous questions about technology and about ourselves. It forces us to rethink who we are and what role we want technology to play in our lives. AI is already part of our time.

This presentation will also feature the participation of Carlos Laparra, a consultant specializing in the development and evaluation of AI-based services.

Do we play, or do we walk away from the game?
