  The extensive industrialization of artificial intelligence (AI) since the
mid-2010s has increasingly motivated artists to address its economic and
sociopolitical consequences. In this chapter, I discuss interrelated art
practices that thematize creative agency, crowdsourced labor, and delegated
artmaking to reveal the social rootage of AI technologies and underline the
productive human roles in their development. I focus on works whose poetic
features indicate broader issues of contemporary AI-influenced science,
technology, economy, and society. By exploring the conceptual, methodological,
and ethical aspects of their effectiveness in disrupting the political regime
of corporate AI, I identify several problems that affect their tactical impact
and outline potential avenues for tackling the challenges and advancing the
field.
