The highest rise in technological<br>evolution has been observed under the capitalist system. Technology has not, as of<br>yet, proved to be capitalism\u2019s demise. However, some believe that advances in Artificial Intelligence and automation render them radically different technologies to<br>those of the past and will mean capitalism\u2019s demise and the dawn of a new, postcapitalist era. This paper will assess this claim by looking at historical evidence and<br>contemporary theoretical and empirical work to argue that, while it is possible that<br>such technologies are radically different to those of the past and might bring about<br>the fall of the capitalist system, such claims cannot yet be substantiated due to the<br>early stage of the aforementioned technologies\u2019 development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/metacpc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/17EN-mWP-Lianos-AI-Automation.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"PDF embed\"><\/object><a href=\"https:\/\/metacpc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/17EN-mWP-Lianos-AI-Automation.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download>PDF<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Vasilis Lianos<\/em> is a graduate student studying for the MSc Political Theory at the University of Amsterdam.
