"What’s often described as “worker-led AI” is less a demonstration of power than a performance of it—a theater of democracy that rarely shifts control. As algorithmic systems quietly reshape how labor is organized, managed, and valued, consultation often replaces control, and inclusion becomes a stand-in for agency.
This ICDE event builds toward the November 2025 conference in Istanbul on cooperative AI, extends themes from a recent article on the possibility of community ownership of AI, and connects to a related course now enrolling at The New School."
