Our generation views the world at a crisis point, driven by an extraction form of global capitalism that has expropriated land and labour from expendable populations in order to power its own wealth accumulation. The Rhodes community has a special relationship to this colonial legacy. Come hear from various speakers as they discuss calls to divest from today’s neocolonial projects — including the fossil fuel industry, the Israeli state’s occupation of Palestine, and the prison-industrial complex in Britain and abroad.
RAIL will be hosting an AI x Government Conference, which will highlight several relatively less publicised but equally important aspects of the social impact of AI. Sign up is available till the 7th June 2019.
