Format: Case in Progress (30 min: two presentations of about 10 min each, then discussion)
Speakers: Tobias Schweitzer, Mansib Rahman
Tobias Schweitzer presents AIRA, a cooperative data platform still in development. It keeps two things apart. Machines share technical data with other machines so they run better. People decide together, through cooperatives, who can use their data, how the value is shared, and where the limits are. Drawing on early work in the biochar sector, he looks at what has worked, what is still unresolved, and what this could offer Thailand’s farming and credit union cooperatives.
Mansib Rahman argues that workforce automation is coming and that cooperatives should lead rather than react. He connects the Solidarity Stack to the future of work, asking what cooperative ownership means as AI increasingly augments or replaces human labor.
