Je paraphrase :

« L’IA est un projet politique technocrate, qui a pour but d’industrialiser le travail intellectuel.

1. En s’assurant que le travail intellectuel ne pourra plus se faire qu’à l’aide de machines spécialisées ;
2. En s’assurant que ces machines n’appartiennent qu’à la classe capitaliste qui en extraira la rente et le pouvoir. »
For the record, AI is a technocratic political project for the purpose of industrializing knowledge work.

That industrialization of knowledge work has 2 parts. First, is mechanization. Making knowledge work dependent on some particular machine. This is already the case, with computers generally. Knowledge work is thoroughly computerized. But, those computers are small, cheap, universally available commodities. That doesn't serve the second part, so they're forcing in new layers of mechanization, and removing access to the old machines.

Second, they ensure those machines can only be obtained through large investments of capital. Thus, all knowledge work can be done only at the pleasure of the capitalists who own the machines. Personal computers don't help them, there. But a black box hosted service that consumes the entire web to build and a whole country's worth of electricity to operate sure as hell does.

"AI" is merely the banner under which they are organizing and justifying this project. The implementation details are just the implementation details.
