AI and digital systems have become ubiquitous, promising an unobstructed path towards a rational and luminous future.

This postulate has remained largely unchallenged as digital systems colonize and ‘optimize’ our existence, designing our lives for us, largely invisibly and without our consent, according to a narrow vision of the world that privileges consumer consumption, profit-making, and population management above all else. Furthermore, the abstractness or disembodiedness of the 'cloud' is an illusion that conceals a deeply material substructure, involving the extraction of rare-earth minerals, the replication of colonial exploitation, and colossal energy consumption.

It is time to reassess our relationship to systems that dictate the gradual ‘automatization’ of the earth for our purported benefit, especially when these systems are not inevitable but the objects of deliberate design. By becoming more aware of and drawing on the various natural intelligences that already exist and in which we in fact are deeply entangled, we can start conceiving alternative modes of existence to the digitally dictated ones that have been imposed on us.

Speaker

Dr. Audrey Borowski is a Research Fellow on the ‘Desirable AI’ project between the universities of Bonn and Cambridge. She gained her doctorate from the University of Oxford. She publishes regularly and her first book, Leibniz in his World: The Making of a Savant is forthcoming with Princeton University Press.
