Humans, Tech, Nature | On the Possibility of Right Relationship with AI
Feb

Humans, Tech, Nature | On the Possibility of Right Relationship with AI

This is a Freeform session in response to the conditions of possibility which shape our relation to technology in general and AI in particular, with intention to support consideration of questions pertaining to 'right relationship' with AI. 

Can we enter 'right relationship with AI?' and if so, what would that look like? 

Related questions involve considering: what is the meaning of intelligence, how can we distinguish 'artificial' from 'natural' intelligence, and what conditions the possibility for 'relations' as such to be 'right'?

Culture Lab | Civilisation & Barbarity

Culture Lab | Civilisation & Barbarity

Culture lab invites a context for deepening understanding of critical, higher attention events, influences, and dynamics in culture space and the world stage more generally. In recent years we have dialogued on wars in Ukraine and the Middle East. In this dialogue, the invitation is to a critical inquiry into the relation between civilisation and barbarity, the stories we come to know these notions through, the cognitive dissonance so pervasive in relation, and a confrontation with the challenge of discernment and the hard line of judgment.

Freeform Session | Currents of Systems Innovation

Freeform Session | Currents of Systems Innovation

Freeform sessions are stages for transformative dialogue, with open invitations to show up and jam. 

Like the style of Freeform known in Jazz music, these sessions will be loose on structure, but in so doing, ask of participants keen discernment in contribution to the flow of the whole. Thus these sessions are excellent opportunities for the deep practice of artful, generative interaction, as speakers and listeners.

Freeform Session | Artificial Intelligence Expedition (Part 3)

This session will further develop threads explored across the AI and Telos expeditions. Central to our inquiry will be the question: in what ways do art and AI relate with telos?

For newer members, Freeform sessions are a great opportunity to discover and cultivate your capacity to participate in and contribute to the quality of group dialogic process. These sessions are mutual learning contexts, and while they are not 101 contexts, they are inclusive, and support learning through participation and orientation with more experienced participation in the field.
