Dubioza Kolektiv’s new song 'Yebiga' questions AI ^{CEFR B1}

Dubioza Kolektiv has released "Yebiga," a new song that sharply critiques society's increasing dependence on artificial intelligence and algorithmic decision-making. The song warns that this trend can lead to a technocracy, where technological elites hold power instead of democratic institutions. The band keeps a satirical tone while using simple, repetitive lines to mirror the mindset they criticise.

The video, published in Bosnian with English and Spanish subtitles, opens with a digital brotherhood that includes figures meant to symbolise powerful tech leaders. In the chorus the lyrics celebrate a world without books or independent thought, with lines such as "AI, we don't care / go and throw the books away." Another verse uses the Bosnian line "Čovjek fizikaneri, nek' razmišlja mašina," translated as "Humans do the labor, we will let machines think."

The clip features a mix of playful and unsettling images and uses familiar comic characters from the region’s television history. The YouTube version received over one and a half million views in a month, drawing attention to the risks of outsourcing critical thinking to opaque systems.
