Research & Theory
AICRIT is a multidisciplinary research project investigating how artificial intelligence on the one hand and how power, knowledge, governance coshape each other (in polysemic interplay).
Political Economy of AI
We examine the "middle-box" architectures where data, incentives, infrastructure, and power converge.
Intellectual Core of Resistance
AICRIT functions as both a workflow and a deliberate resistance agent. Our theoretical framework draws from dialectic logic to challenge the "sedimentation" of data, code and compute—the process by which historical biases and economic imperatives harden into "neutral" processes and facts.
We research systems that:
- Challenge the myth of "bias-free" AI.
- Surface hidden power structures embedded in models, data and architectures.
- Deploy counter-biases that make hegemonies visible and uncover levers of empowerment.
- Are structurally independent, epistemically diverse and responsibly deconstructive.
Reclaiming Digital Commons
Most AI systems operate as emerging panopticons, separating the end-user from the means of knowledge production. This creates an extreme centralization of epistemic, economic and cultural power.
AICRIT deliberately operates at the depths of the stack to resist separation and find choices. We research the business models and technical architectures required to reclaim digital commons, enabling AI to serve as a public infrastructure rather than only private fiefdoms.
