Their power grows as artificial intelligence becomes widely adopted and emerges as the mainstream method of invention and creation, one that undermines people's capacity to think. The US government has strengthened its ties and support to Big Tech since Trump's second term, with direct effects for digital peripheries, including Europe.

It's an assembly of components, whose manufacturing requires a diversity of metals and minerals, extracted and processed on a global scale. Their production relies on the workforce of low-income nations, a system of exploitation that destroys simultaneously their ecosystems. \r\n\r\nThis lecture explores the notion of conviviality from Ivan Illich and questions our relationship with time and technical progress.

Our research shows that this only captures part of the picture. For many workers, especially migrants, platform work is an answer not merely to the need to generate an income but also, we argue, to biographical breaches, downward social mobility, and experiences of (gendered) violence. By looking at workers\u2019 life trajectories rather than only their immediate labour position, we show how platforms draw on a workforce already made precarious by migration regimes and blocked career paths. Gig work can provide fast income in moments of crisis, enable \u201csideways moves\u201d when promised futures fail, and offer narratives of independence that temporarily mask insecurity and deskilling.\r\n\r\nFor organisers, this matters.

Participating organizations include Alternativa Laboral Trans, the Argentine Federation of Tech Cooperatives, the Tech Sector of Brazil\u2019s Homeless Workers\u2019 Movement and Se\u00f1oritas Courier. Rather than promoting idealized models of platform cooperativism, the talk highlights how worker collectives are confronting concrete political, technical, and organizational challenges. It discusses the differences between Argentina\u2019s institutionalized cooperative tradition and Brazil\u2019s strengths in political mobilization; how intersectional frameworks are translated into tech development and labor organizing; and how concepts such as digital sovereignty and trans technologies are enacted within organizations. The session also explores principles such as intercooperation and \u201ccare before code\u201d as foundations for worker-led tech governance.
