But the protesters argue Scale AI is just one of many AI companies, including Palantir<\/a>, Anduril<\/a>\u00a0and SpaceX, that are increasingly focused on profiting from U.S. imperialism around the world, from \u201cPalestine<\/a> to the Philippines.\u201d<\/p>\n

And no to the normalization of AI-powered violence!\u201d yelled Katie Na, an organizer with Planet Over Profit Bay Area. \u201cWith their AI-driven war platforms, their surveillance tools, their automatic weapons systems, they\u2019re really building up their infrastructure for this private, VC-backed, VC-owned military future.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
