Join Ruha Benjamin for the first Tanner Lecture where she explores the provocative question "Who Owns the Future?" examining the intersection of artificial intelligence and modern eugenics. This 88-minute talk hosted by the Mahindra Humanities Center delves into how emerging technologies are reshaping social hierarchies and potentially reinforcing discriminatory practices. Learn about the concept of the "Artificial Intelligentsia" and how technological developments may be creating new forms of social stratification and control reminiscent of historical eugenics movements.
