In this episode of the Emergence Magazine Listening Hour, we explore the concept of a true ecology of technology. James Bridle, an artist, writer, and technologist, delves into the idea that technology is deeply connected to the world around it. He notes that our current understanding and development of technology often overlooks this interconnectedness.
As we navigate the landscape of artificial intelligence, we are faced with the reality that technology is evolving at a rapid pace. Consumer AI is becoming more prevalent, yet we have yet to define clear boundaries or directions for its use. This technological zeitgeist is shaping our future in ways we may not fully understand yet.
James questions our limited perception of intelligence and how it influences the technologies we create. He suggests that by embracing the unknown and unpredictable aspects of technology, we can expand our thinking beyond human-centric perspectives. This shift may lead us to a deeper understanding of the intelligence present in the natural world.
This episode is part of the Emergence Magazine Listening Hour series, which explores the timeless connections between ecology, culture, and spirituality. It challenges us to reconsider how we approach and interact with technology in a way that honors its connection to the world around us.
