SUMMARY:This Is *Not* a Talk About AI (It's About Fire\, Anthropology\, Technology and Humanity
DESCRIPTION:When AI begins to feel uncanny\, dangerous\, or too powerful to contain\, our cultural imagination reaches quickly for Frankenstein.\n\nThe comparison is everywhere in the current news cycle: a creation escapes its maker\, technology accelerates beyond human control\, and the world discovers too late that it has built something it cannot govern. The fear is not foolish. AI is moving rapidly into the systems that shape work\, education\, media\, public services\, and democratic life.\n\nBut Frankenstein offers a more interesting warning than the one we usually tell. Mary Shelley’s 1818 novel was shaped by fascination with galvanism\, the early electrical experiments that made dead muscle appear to twitch. Its central horror is not simply that Victor Frankenstein creates something powerful. It is that he creates it and then abandons responsibility for what follows.\n\nIn This Is Not a Talk About AI\, digital anthropologist Ali Maaxa\, Ph.D. asks what changes when we stop treating AI as an alien force with a destiny of its own and start recognizing it as a human-built infrastructure. A system does not simply “take over.” It receives power through human decisions: whose data it uses\, who funds it\, what it is allowed to access\, which institutions treat its outputs as legitimate\, whose labor maintains it\, and whether people can challenge its decisions.\n\nThe story begins long before AI.\n\nNeanderthals made birch-bark tar with controlled fire to bind stone tools to handles and hunting shafts. The Gutenberg Bible made authoritative texts reproducible at unprecedented scale and turned interpretation into a public struggle. Electricity extended the human day and television reorganized public attention. The internet promised open connection before becoming an infrastructure of platforms\, surveillance\, ranking\, and concentrated control.\n\nEach technology changed not only what people could do\, but what became normal. Each produced new anxieties\, new gatekeepers\, new forms of dependence\, and new struggles over who should set the rules.\n\nAI belongs in that longer history. It is not “just like” fire\, print\, or electricity. It is faster\, more networked\, more opaque\, and increasingly able to generate language\, classify people\, and act through connected systems. It also has a body: chips\, data centers\, electricity\, water\, land\, extraction\, invisible labor\, public subsidies\, and communities asked to absorb costs that rarely appear in a product demo.\n\nFor more than 20 years\, Dr. Maaxa has studied how people around the world encounter\, repurpose\, resist\, innovate with\, and make meaning around emerging technologies. As a researcher funded by Mellon\, Peacock\, REACH\, Wilgus\, and NEH\, an author of books and articles\, and a professor at UNC\, Duke\, William & Mary\, Virigina Tech\, PSU & Pierce\, she has produced leading work on global digital cultures. A leader in AI innovation and incubation\, she has spent the past decade working across New Relic AI\, AWS AI\, Meta AI\, startups\, and accelerators\, bringing new technologies into public and professional life while advocating for responsible\, accessible\, deeply ethical use.\n\nThis is neither an AI sales pitch nor an apocalypse sermon. It is a lively intervention into an overblown public conversation.\n\nIt asks:\n\n– What is AI actually doing now?\n\n– Which human relationships\, forms of labor\, judgments\, and institutions is it rearranging?\n\n– Who gets to build and govern it?\n\n– Who pays for its infrastructure?\n\n– Who can inspect\, interrupt\, challenge\, or repair what it does?\n\nThe answer is not to pretend risk has disappeared. It is to recover agency as a shared public practice.\n\nA technology is not the same thing as a culture of use.\n\nThe question is not only what AI can do. It is what kind of public we are becoming while we learn to live with it.\n\nLearn more\, book me for a keynote or interview\, or get involved: https://notanai.site\nTags: AI\, Artificial Intelligence\, ux\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250482713
