Responsibility, care and repair in/of AI: Extinction threats and more-than-real worlds
Abstract
The recent statement of future (human) extinction by Artificial Intelligence (AI), made by the Center for AI Safety, crystallises techno-capitalists’ lack of care and responsibility for environmental and social harms that digital technologies already produce. Rather than identifying their collective roles and responsibilities in addressing these harms, the Center’s statement highlights future risks, and ties these to global extinction threats. There are, however, alternatives to such an approach, as articulated in research at the intersection of geographies of care and digital geographies, including that which is bringing together more-than-human and more-than-real approaches. While the software and hardware of AI continues to present amorphous challenges to the same techno-capitalists who benefit from them, we could instead prioritise care, repair and responsibility in/of AI to address current problems in this area.

“We would argue and we read the authors of these papers arguing the same: AI has no role of repair in the harms it causes because the systems causing harm must not be held up as the agents of their repair (see also McLean 2024).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
