About the Book
Warum dieses Buch? Und warum jetzt?Mit den rasanten Entwicklungen der künstlichen Intelligenz und ihrem wachsenden Einfluss auf verschiedene Lebensbereiche ist es unerlässlich geworden, eine umfassende linke Analyse zu diesem zentralen Thema bereitzustellen. Künstliche Intelligenz ist zu einem Eckpfeiler bei der Umgestaltung von Arbeitsverhältnissen, Produktionsmustern und der Steuerung des öffentlichen Bewusstseins geworden – sie übertrifft traditionelle kapitalistische Werkzeuge. Das Fehlen einer sozialistischen Analyse der KI erlaubt es den kapitalistischen Eliten, den Diskurs in ihrem Klasseninteresse zu lenken. Daher benötigen wir eine Analyse, die erklärt, wie KI nicht nur als Produktionsmittel, sondern auch als Mittel zur Kontrolle von Arbeit, Bewusstsein und zur Umstrukturierung der Märkte eingesetzt wird.
Warum eine linke Perspektive auf KI?Dieses Buch hat das Ziel, eine erste linke Kritik an der künstlichen Intelligenz zu liefern, ihre Verbindung zur Herrschaft des Kapitals offenzulegen und ihr Potenzial als Befreiungsinstrument im Rahmen eines sozialistischen Projekts zu erkunden. Es ist nicht nur theoretisch gemeint, sondern ein Versuch, eine linke Debatte darüber anzustoßen, wie Technologie von Konzernen und Großmächten zurückerobert werden kann, um soziale Gerechtigkeit, Gleichheit und Demokratie zu fördern.
KI ist an sich keine Bedrohung – sie ist ein Schlachtfeld, auf dem der Klassenkampf ausgetragen wird. Die digitale Revolution gestaltet den Zugang zu Wissen neu und macht diesen Bereich zu einer entscheidenden Arena des Klassenkampfs. Technologie ist nicht neutral – die Herausforderung besteht darin, sicherzustellen, dass sie den Massen dient und nicht die kapitalistische Kontrolle vertieft.
Was bietet dieses Buch?Dieses Buch präsentiert eine kritische Sicht auf KI aus einer elektronisch-linken Perspektive, basierend auf den Prinzipien des elektronischen Linkstums. Es strebt danach, Technologie zurückzugewinnen und KI im Dienste der Gesellschaft neu auszurichten, mit einem Fokus auf den Aufbau digitaler linker Internationalen. Die Lösung liegt im Aufbau quelloffener, transparenter Systeme, die demokratisch verwaltet werden, und im Einsatz für internationale Gesetze, die KI im öffentlichen Interesse regulieren – nicht im Interesse des Kapitals. Die eigentliche Lösung besteht im Aufbau progressiver Alternativen mit gemeinschaftlichem Eigentum, wobei KI genutzt wird, um Ausbeutung abzubauen und eine gerechtere Gesellschaft zu schaffen.
Die Entwicklung linker Kompetenzen im technischen Bereich ist zu einer strategischen Notwendigkeit geworden – parallel zur Entwicklung politischer, intellektueller, organisatorischer, medialer und basisnaher Kapazitäten. Genauso wie die Linke sich nicht auf kapitalistische Medien verlassen kann und ihre eigenen unabhängigen Medien aufbaut, ebenso wie sie ihre Gedanken, Politik und Organisationsmittel unabhängig von kapitalistischer Vorherrschaft entwickelt, muss sie auch daran arbeiten, eigene unabhängige technologische Alternativen aufzubauen – mit der KI an vorderster Front –, um ihr umfassendes Befreiungsprojekt voranzutreiben.

About the Author
Rezgar Akrawi
Writer and Researcher
An independent leftist and the theorist of the concept of "the Digital Left," which he has developed for more than a quarter of a century and first presented under the name "the Electronic Left," the term in common use at the time. This approach rests on a central thesis: that the digital revolution is a structural transformation in the nature of power and the mechanisms by which it is produced, and that confronting capitalism in its digital phase requires intellectual, organizational and technical renewal in the very structure of the Left, and the building of a cross-border Digital Left International.
Coordinator of the Center for Studies and Research on Marxism and the Left, and founder and general coordinator of the Modern Discussion Foundation (Al-Hiwar Al-Mutamaddin), one of the most prominent and widely read leftist and progressive platforms in the Arab world.
Born: 1966, Aqrah, Iraq.
Political Activity
Active since the 1980s in several leftist parties and organizations, from the Iraqi Communist Party to the Communist Current Organization and the Worker-communist Party of Iraq, until 2000, he contributed to shaping visions for developing leftist work and strengthening coordination among its forces. He also worked within the ranks of the Danish Red-Green Alliance (Enhedslisten) between 2006 and 2010.
He believes that moving beyond traditional disagreements and focusing on common ground is a condition for any leftist revival, and calls for the founding of a unified, democratic, multi-platform leftist framework, with organizational mechanisms based on collective leadership and management and horizontal structure, and grounded in modern scientific and technological foundations and in the development of knowledge and rights.
Human Rights
A human rights activist, he was among the first contributors to the founding of the "Union of the Unemployed" in Iraq in 1992, and a member of the Iraqi Human Rights Association in Denmark between 1998 and 2000.
An advocate of the abolition of the death penalty, he is one of the founders of the "Right to Life" center, which campaigns against it in the Arab world. He has also worked on issues of gender equality and women's rights, and has taken part in numerous international conferences and meetings in these fields.
Books and Writings
Author of the book "The Most Prominent Intellectual and Organizational Foundations of the Electronic Left," in which he set out the beginnings of the intellectual and organizational framework of this current, from defining the place of digital space in the class struggle to the forms of organization and work it proposes to the forces of the Left.
In March 2025 he published the book "Capitalist Artificial Intelligence: Challenges for the Left and Possible Alternatives: Technology in the Service of Capital or a Tool for Liberation?", made freely available without copyright restrictions, and it has been translated into thirty-two other languages.
The book sparked a wide debate that extended to dozens of countries, and researchers and academics from the Arab world, Kurdistan, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Canada, the United States and elsewhere wrote about it, while its ideas were taken up in works published in other languages. This new book brings together his latest texts alongside that debate, with all the support and criticism it contained.
Publishing and Media
He has published dozens of intellectual and political articles and studies in leftist and progressive newspapers, magazines and websites.
His books and articles have been translated and published in dozens of languages, including Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Greek, Turkish, Danish, Russian, Chinese, Hindi, Norwegian, Persian and others, and have appeared in leftist and progressive outlets in dozens of countries, from India and Brazil to Malaysia, Chile, Sri Lanka and South Africa. He has also contributed to translation and editing, and has written studies in his fields of specialization.
Technology and Digital Transformation
A specialist in information technology, he has contributed over more than a quarter of a century to building and supporting dozens of websites, platforms and digital applications for leftist and progressive organizations, human rights organizations and feminist organizations, with the aim of putting digital tools at the service of leftist and progressive thought.
Education and Academic Specialization
Bachelor's degree in Industrial Management from the University of Mosul (1989), and a Higher Diploma in Computer Science from Copenhagen International College (2000), in addition to numerous specialized courses in the internet, programming and information technology.
He works as an expert in developing e-government systems, and has long experience in implementing digital transformation projects in Denmark.
