![]() ![]() Lifeworlds of humans, of cultures, of ecosystems?Ĭan cities and forests ‘think?’ If so, what kind of intelligence is afforded them, and across what timescales? Does a planet have ‘mind’ or ‘computational capacity?’ If so, what kinds of information processing takes place, what networks are folded into that, and how can we work as designers to access those flows of information and energy? To what degree can we compare the ‘intelligence’ of a bacterial colony, or a microbiome, with the functioning of a single CPU, or a network of millions of computers? Subatomic or scale-free? Patterns and Graphs? Quark or galactic structure? What kinds of ‘mind’ might be already present at these levels, or deployable through ‘artificial’ acts of design? How do these profoundly non-human scales of space and time connect back to the If we consider forms of mind across radically diverse scales what kinds of intelligence will we be compelled to recognize? What design options are available across these scales? What is natural or artificial intelligence at each of these scales? How can this way of thinking impact a pragmatic, everyday way of approaching ‘designed AI’?Īre there ‘universals’ of intelligence that can be mapped and extrapolated?Īt what level is irreversible data structure necessary for emerging forms of mind and AI? Are there correspondences between key concepts in blockchain architecture which we might find mirrored in ‘natural’ systems of complex organization, from atomic structure, to molecular, to the layerings of DNA, to cities, ecosystems, planetary tectonics, or cosmological structures? ![]() Sentience and Sapience are gradients of these feedback loops. Intelligence is frequently linked to models of information processing, feedback loops, thought, and ‘agency’. We might begin by questioning the limits of our concepts of intelligence and of mind, considering the range of non-human or non-standard models of intelligence, to better adjust any designed artificial intelligence to a scope of both human and non-human constituents. The symposium is framed via a set of provocations: This symposium brings together leading AI developers, designers, artists, philosophers, urbanists, musicians, historians, systems thinkers, ecologists, and educators, to discuss the near and long term implications of ubiquitous artificial intelligence as it evolves on Starr Lecture Hall, UL102, 63 Fifth Avenue, NY Sentience, Sapience & Thalience on the Planetary Ledger ![]()
