I will be especially excited to hear from students who want to question and deconstruct common dogma and myths of “sustainable AI” and instead work for genuine systems change including #degrowth and #postgrowth perspectives on technology design, climate justice, convivial and liberatory technologies, commons, pluriversal design etc

Wide-ranging introduction by Mark Coeckelbergh followed by the first talk by Aimee van Wynsberghe set out a good overview and introduction to the global nature and scale of the complicated relationships between AI tech and sustainability.

Nice to see that the first question highlights "small AI" work, ecologically focused work outside the mainstream big tech. #TechOtherwise

An escape from class domination sounds like a good reason to be appealing!

I’m also thinking generally about Lakoff&Johnson’s points on the metaphor “up is good”. Common terminology illustrates what culture elevates. Flipping it is a little act of subversive resistance. It’s jarring because the alternative hierarchy is built on alternative values and the conflict becomes visible…
