The artificial intelligence community (AI) has recently engaged in activism
in relation to their employers, other members of the community, and their
governments in order to shape the societal and ethical implications of AI. It
has achieved some notable successes, but prospects for further political
organising and activism are uncertain. We survey activism by the AI community
over the last six years; apply two analytical frameworks drawing upon the
literature on epistemic communities, and worker organising and bargaining; and
explore what they imply for the future prospects of the AI community. Success
thus far has hinged on a coherent shared culture, and high bargaining power due
to the high demand for a limited supply of AI talent. Both are crucial to the
future of AI activism and worthy of sustained attention.

人工智能社区（AI）最近参与了与其雇主、社区其他成员和政府相关的活动，以塑造 AI 的社会和伦理影响，已取得了一些显著的成功，但 AI 社区未来政治组织和行动的前景不确定，该论文调查了过去六年 AI 社区的活动，并运用两个分析框架，研究其对于 AI 社区未来前景的影响结果表明，迄今的成功取决于一个统一的共享文化和高谈判能力，这两者对未来的 AI 活动至关重要。
