Arthit Suriyawongkul · Embedding Solidarity Values into Technical AI Standards

How can communities influence technical standards to ensure they embed values of solidarity, ecological care, and community control? Arthit Suriyawongkul of Thai Netizen Network examines ways to build the values of Solidarity AI and the Solidarity Stack into the wider technical standards that shape AI systems, so that more of those systems become compatible with them.

Bronwen Morgan argues that the legal DNA of non-extractive platform economies formally redefines platform structure and value flows, while integrating place and care at the center through prefigurative legal strategies. She sees legal frameworks as a crucial part of the Solidarity Stack, especially at scale and between communities who do not know each other, while stressing that the limits of law matter just as much if solidarity is to last.

Sawaros Thanapornsangsuth, Director of the Social Innovation Lab at the Chulalongkorn School of Integrated Innovation, brings her work on participatory design and community learning, asking how communities can take part in shaping technology rather than only receiving it.
