First round of concurrent sessions
Format: Workshop
Speaker: Max Haiven
In Max Haiven’s satirical board game Billionaires & Guillotines, players become rival plutocrats competing to seize as much of the world’s wealth as possible before their actions provoke a revolution. The game turns the dynamics of accumulation, competition, inequality, and collective revolt into something participants can play through together. At Solidarity AI, the session uses the game to open a discussion about concentrated technological power, the billionaire politics surrounding artificial intelligence, and what forms of collective action might interrupt an economy in which a small number of actors control both wealth and critical digital infrastructure. No prior experience is needed; Max will teach the game and lead the discussion.
