Alvaro Rivas

I work on questions that interest me in areas such as philosophy, artificial intelligence, religion, language, mathematics, political theory, and others.

This is where I publish what I write: books, essays, research, and occasional projects. Some of it consists of attempts to answer specific questions, while other pieces are more exploratory. I enjoy interdisciplinary research, especially when interesting questions cross the boundaries between different fields.

Selected work

Marx in the Age of AI: A book on how artificial intelligence may reshape labour, value, class, and ideology.
