Socioeconomic expropriations (Landnahme) have a direct impact on democracy and the processes of struggle of the working class, precisely because they impose a certain common sense and normalization of social relations, which, according to Marx and Engels, act in the "taking" of social consciousness. In this line, we seek to discuss the uses (abuses) of AI as a technology that has been employed to serve primarily the interests of proprietary companies and their corporate customers, the effects of this movement in the world of work, increasingly less regulated, and also the formation of a more commodified and surveilled sociability (surveillance capitalism). In education, the effects are also complex and require us to look at how we can encourage students to be autonomous in the face of the current technology model, which is paralyzing them. How can we stimulate students' creativity and criticality in the interactive use of machines? We believe that the possible misuse of AI should be limited by its ethical and responsible use, democratizing access to its decision-making processes.
