Speculative Philosophy of Planetary Computation

OCTOBER 23, 2024

•

MIT Media Lab

Keynote lecture by Benjamin Bratton, which featured Antikythera’s philosophy of technology and the speculative design work of the think tank. The keynote reviewed the program’s core research themes: planetary computation, synthetic intelligence, recursive simulations, hemispherical stacks, and planetary sapience, and presented glimpses of the content and ideas behind Antikythera’s forthcoming digital journal and book series with MIT Press.

CSM Platform Theater

A public lecture at Central St. Martins University of the Arts London reviewed shifts from AGI to artificial generic intelligence, the decentering of personal data, the challenges of AI in science, intelligence as an evolutionary scaffold, the limitations of mainstream AI ethics, and why a planetary model of synthetic intelligence must drive its geopolitical project.

Planetary Sapience & Planetary Stupidity: a Bildungsroman for the Baby Noosphere

JULY 8, 2024

•

CSM

In this talk, Thomas Moynihan explores Earth’s emergence into self-awareness through human intelligence, tracing the intertwined histories of scientific insight, planetary transformation, and technological folly as preludes to potential planetary sapience.

57 Ideas & Questions about Cognitive Infrastructures

JULY 3, 2024

•

CSM Platform Theater

As AI becomes both more general and more foundational, it shouldn’t be seen as a disembodied virtual brain. It is a real, material force. AI is embedded into the active, decision-making processes of real world systems. As AI becomes infrastructural, infrastructures become intelligent.
