Introducing Socialism AI, by the WSWS

On Friday, December 12, 2025, the World Socialist Web Site—the online publication of the International Committee of the Fourth International—launched Socialism AI. This first-ever socialist chatbot uses the power of AI to advance the development of socialist consciousness in the international working class.

Socialism AI will expand and accelerate the education of workers, student youth, progressive intellectuals and artists on the basis of the world scientific outlook of Marxism. It will prepare them for the irrepressible escalation of the international class conflict.

For the ruling class, AI’s role creates new means of intensifying exploitation, displacing labor and increasing profits.

But, paradoxically, AI technology also makes possible an unprecedented expansion of knowledge and social consciousness.

Socialism AI is based on this perspective. It is not a substitute for revolutionary leadership or the organized struggle of the working class. Rather, it is a tool to accelerate the development of socialist consciousness, overcoming the barriers of distance, language, specialization and time.

Workers and youth—whether in Detroit, Johannesburg, São Paulo, Sydney, Mumbai or Berlin—will be able to pose questions on theory, history, philosophy, economics and politics, and receive answers rooted in the scientific method of historical materialism and the strategic experience of the international socialist movement.

What is called “AI” is not artificial intelligence but augmented intelligence—the automation and amplification of human intellectual labor, shaped by centuries of accumulated knowledge. The decisive issue is who controls this technology and to what social end it is used.

Under capitalism, scientific breakthroughs are harnessed to private profit. Under socialism, they will become instruments of human liberation.

With Socialism AI, the ICFI is demonstrating in practice how the most advanced tools of information processing can be turned away from commercial triviality, ideological stupefaction and militarism. Instead, they can be placed in the service of historical truth, education and international revolutionary organization.

Socialism AI is a 21st-century interactive counterpart to the revolutionary work of Diderot’s Encyclopedia, Lenin’s Iskra, and the three decades of analysis published daily on the WSWS.

Socialism AI will provide daily political orientation, theoretical clarity and access to the accumulated lessons of more than 150 years of the Marxist movement. It will be continually enriched and corrected through the practice of the revolutionary movement and the participation of workers and youth internationally.
