[Science against Fascism in the Age of AI

Fascism does not only arrive through irrationalism or open anti-science. It can also arrive through the language of efficiency, optimization, and progress. This lecture explores how AI and automated knowledge systems can reinforce hierarchy while appearing neutral and rational. Focusing on cognitive science’s role in the history and future of AI, we will examine the myths of neutral science, the political consequences of automation, and the limits of regulation such as the EU AI Act. The lecture ends by asking how science can become not merely truth-seeking, but democratic, contestable, pluralistic, and resistant to domination. The talk will be in English and also available on zoom https://tu-darmstadt.zoom-x.de/my/charleywu?pwd=bFjNWRmcrtOXKE4vt82JkA0DJQluGj.1
