In this course
Dan McQuillan is a theorist and activist known for developing an anti-fascist critique of artificial intelligence that resists its uncritical adoption in society. His work frames AI not as a neutral technical tool but as a system embedded with political power and capable of amplifying fascistic logics of control and dehumanization. In the course readings, McQuillan's framework enables discussion of how algorithmic systems can be actively opposed rather than passively accepted, grounding arguments about AI's material harms in a genealogy of resistance rather than technological inevitability.
