In 'The power behind AI', Jurgen Masure investigates how technology, greed for profit, and authoritarian governance merge into a new power order. He shows how the digital infrastructure of our lives has come entirely under private control. But he also pleads for public alternatives. Because technology can also be different, at least if we bring it back under public control. Jurgen Masure is a historian and philosopher. He worked as a social media expert and spokesperson and writes, blogs, and thinks about a better world.
