We develop a conceptualization of ideology, in which a system of ideas represents social, economic, and political relationships. We use ideology as a lens for understanding and critiquing intersecting social, economic, and political aspects of how 'AI' technologies are being developed. We observe ideological shifts. We question that the present tangling of corporate and university objectives is beneficial to labor, particularly computer science students, and the general public. Corporations and computer science have a history of marketing the ideology of computing as empowerment. However, with intensification of the production of 'AI', contradictions emerge. We ask, "Who is being empowered?"
