Expert‑led AI Governance Fuels Violence

The piece argues that decades of technocratic, expert‑centered AI warnings and policy work have failed to give ordinary people a sense of agency, and that this perceived impotence is driving some individuals toward violent direct action against AI figures and infrastructure. It frames the shift using Fanon (violence as psychic agency) and Arendt (violence as the recourse of the powerless) to explain why militant opposition could emerge. — If opposition to AI radicalizes into violent attacks, it will reshape policing, platform security, AI governance, and public legitimacy of tech regulation.
