The Luddites feared the social and economic impacts of technology and who controlled it. Today, with artificial intelligence, we must remember the Luddites: rejecting that corporations unilaterally decide the technological course, prioritizing the impact on workers, social cohesion, and democracy. Journalists, academics, lawmakers, and educators must question the corporate narrative about the inevitability of innovation, focusing on human agency and who benefits and who pays the price in the development of artificial intelligence.
