Reviews
'Indispensable reading for all those who want to understand the relationship between artificial intelligence and capitalism', 'A disturbing but essential addition to the rapidly growing literature on the risks posed by capitalist-conceived AI', 'A fascinating and pioneering work that deploys Marx to understand contemporary AI capitalism. An exemplary contribution to understanding how machine learning is changing our world and transforming communist strategy', 'A fascinating and pioneering work that deploys Marx to understand contemporary AI capitalism, and AI to reflect on the limits of traditional anti-capitalist thinking. This work is an exemplary contribution to understanding how machine learning is changing our world and transforming communist strategy', 'A radical and provocative reading of the conjuncture between AI and capitalism proposing that AI is capital's future, the mechanism by which it acquires a life of its own. The authors' criticisms of left accelerationism are timely and persuasive, their conclusion is bracing but necessary: if AI can't be redeemed from within capitalism, it must be reclaimed from outside. The only hope for a fundamentally different socio-technological order lies in conflict', 'A radical and provocative reading. The authors' criticisms of left accelerationism are timely and persuasive, their conclusion is bracing but necessary.'

Synopsis
The past several years have brought staggering advances in the field of Artificial Intelligence. And Marxist analysis has to keep up: while machines were always central to Marxist analysis, modern AI is a new kind of machine that Marx could not have anticipated. Inhuman Power explores the relationship between Marxist theory and AI through three approaches, each using the lens of a different Marxist theoretical concept. While the idea of widespread AI tends to be celebrated as much as questioned, a deeper analysis of its reach and potential produces a more complex and disturbing picture than has been identified. Inhuman Power argues that on its current trajectory, AI is likely to render humanity obsolete and that the only way to prevent it is a communist revolution., 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.

- r***g (246)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoBook was "nearly new" and "as described" in listing. The advertised price was fair and a good value. Unfortunately, the seller's shipping partner was very slow to get the book packaged and shipped. Shipping took too long, and the tracking info gave no reliable info on shipping date, time in transit or expected delivery. Seller did everything right, but their shipping partner needs improvement. I recommend this seller to other eBay buyers....... just make sure you're okay with the shipping terms.
- e***u (290)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoThe listing was for a hardcover version of this book; however, I received a paperback. The Seller replied quickly to my question about this issue and issued a full refund - and let me keep the book. So, a diligent Seller for sure - and well packaged and reasonable timing on shipping. Thank you for the refund, and as you suggested, I'll likely donate this volume and seek the hardcover.
- a***a (421)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoThis 2DVD set is in perfect condition. Cover art and case like new. Both DVDs played with no flaws. Description was listed as “Good”; I would describe it as “Very Good”, basically Like New. Delivery was super fast and packaging was excellent. The DVD case was wrapped well, then put in a cardboard envelope that was sturdy and hard to open (this is NOT a negative!). I have purchased from this company a few times and have always been very satisfied. Prices are great.
