A Brief Presentation of Rezgar Akrawi’s Book on Artificial IntelligenceTarek Fathi2025 / 9 / 19“Contemporary capitalism, with cunning intelligence, has turned the digital space into a den that deepens alienation: from algorithms that crush the rights of the masses and control their consciousness, to platforms that transform revolutionary activity into ‘likes’ stripped of action. Rezgar explores in this book two contrasting perspectives on the use of artificial intelligence technology: the capitalist model and the leftist movement’s vision. He presents these two perspectives in a table that highlights their differences, starting with the very purpose of artificial intelligence. Rezgar illustrates, in engaging language, examples of how the capitalist world amasses profit with complete disregard for anything else. Artificial intelligence has tightened its grip on human beings, measuring the speed and performance of manual and intellectual workers—particularly in Amazon’s warehouses where AI is used—without regard for workers’ health or social conditions.
