First round of concurrent sessions
Format: Workshop 3 (in person, 2h)
Speakers: Max Haiven, Melike Kaplan
This workshop starts from the premise that building Solidarity AI requires expanding our sense of what is possible. It uses radical imagination to help participants dream up the futures Solidarity AI might bring into being, and then embody and engage with them. It builds on two earlier online sessions: “Collaborative World-building,” which collectively imagined cooperative technological futures, and “Writing Cooperative Futures,” which turned those imagined worlds into a collaborative zine, Stories from Cooperative Tech Futures.
In Bangkok, participants will bring those futures to life through a facilitated game based on the zine. They will take on roles within the imagined world, encounter its tensions and possibilities, and test it against their own social, political, and economic realities. The workshop uses play and radical imagination to ask what solidaristic AI futures might actually feel like, where they might break down, and what would be required to make them possible.
