Abstract

This paper examines the relationship between supremacist sociopolitical systems and AI, each of which has been developing along its own temporal trajectory. It fundamentally asks whether those trajectories are converging in the early twenty-first century, and if so, what consequences may result. Of particular interest is the problem of hyperinflation, whereby AI may supplant human cognition as supremacy’s propellant, thereby geometrically growing its structural influence. If this hyperinflation of supremacy is indeed on the horizon, this paper will suggest how social justice activism may likewise need to rapidly evolve in order to create future anti-supremacist countermeasures.
