AI Must Die!

Critical Perspectives on the State of Artificial Intelligence

AI MUST DIE is a short zine by Myke Walton and Cam Smith that presents critical perspectives on the way that AI is talked about, governed, and owned in 2025.

AI is fucking everywhere: at work, at school, in our homes, in our phones, on our streets, in our governments, and at war. We are living through an era of extreme AI hype. In this climate, some people have gotten rich off of the stolen data and stolen labor that fuels these technologies. Others have been surveilled, oppressed, exploited, and killed. This text presents a short, practical guide to the technologies currently called “AI,” the ideologies and actors pouring gasoline on the AI dumpsterfire, and what we can do about it.

...

How long will this go on? When will the hype cycle end? Is another AI winter coming? Faced with an inhumane tech industry and complicit governments it may ultimately fall to the people to invent new ways to evade, refuse, resist, sabotage or otherwise destroy AI.

Hammers up! AI Must Die!

Seize the means of computation

The image is a zine cover with a photograph and text. The title of the book is “AI MUST DIE” in large, bold, black letters on a white background. Below the title is the subtitle “Critical Perspectives on the State of Artificial Intelligence” in smaller, black font. 

The photograph depicts a white cone-shaped security robot in a pool of water being recovered by two secuirty officers in blue shirts while a woman in a black dress observes. 

At the bottom of the cover is text reading “Incident 68: Security Robot Drowns Itself in a Fountain” followed by “AI Incident Database (AIID)” and the URL “incidentdatabase.ai”.

@asrg Even if I laugh about the very ironic title (they clearly write that #AI is *no* existence or #intelligence that could die), this #zine is a good compilation for critical questions to ask and for thinking about #AIEthics and rules. A first starter for #activism.
