What Is the Socialist Solution to AI? A Panel Discussion
Thu, Aug 20, 2026 ยท 6:30 PM
Chilo's 323 Franklin Ave Brooklyn, NY
Lineup
Molly Crabapple, Kyle DeAngelis, Katherine Jin, Jeremy Bearer-Friend
As AI becomes increasingly prominent in the minds of Americans, with corporations selling it as some inevitable, transformative force and workers from truck drivers to software engineers struggle to figure out ways to pushback against AI displacing them from their jobs, one policy solution has captured everyone's attention: Senator Bernie Sanders's AI Sovereign Wealth Fund Act.
Join us for a panel discussion on Bernie's bill and how socialists should approach AI generally - from artists fighting AI slop to teachers organizing to protect their jobs and their students' education.
Panelists leading the discussion will be artist Molly Crabapple, MORE UFT teacher Kyle DeAngelis, Tech Action Organizing Committee member Katherine Jin, and Professor Jeremy Bearer-Friend whose work inspired Bernie's bill.
