About this episode

The episode features a conversation with filmmaker Hito Steyerl about the implications of AI and automation on culture and politics in a post-globalization world.

My guest is Hito Steyerl, a filmmaker, author and professor of digital media at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. We explore the ideology of AI, automation, and the rise of reactionary politics across the advanced world. Neoliberalism might be over. But whatever comes next could be worse. In this conversation, we attempt to forecast what culture and politics may look like beyond the 2020s and after the end of globalization.
