Last month, hundreds of anti-AI protestors took to the streets of London to protest the growing ubiquity of the technology. Is this the start of a Ludditesque movement or just a howl into the void? Alys Key – author of the UK 2.0 Substack – was on site, covering the protests for Transformer. In this episode of The Ned Ludd Radio Hour we discuss the protests in London and whether they're a case study for a movement that will accelerate in the coming years. What brings these disparate protestors together? And what can they learn from those in the climate activism world who have gone before them?
