Great interview. Worth adding to the #swtech thread about #SocialWorkAI & #AgenticAI. How can we continue interrogating the future imaginations promulgated by what Ruha Benjamin calls "the artificial intelligentsia?" #swfutures @jbsinger.bsky.social @stuckonsw.bsky.social @jcreswellbaez.bsky.social

Ruha Benjamin: "In my view, the AI that we should be investing more in is not 'artificial,' it's 'ancestral' intelligence. It's the collective know-how, the wisdom that has been cut off from us in part because of who it's associated with." Listen/read: www.techpolicy.press/imagining-20...
