SUMMARY:Meta-Relational AI in a Time of Saturation\, Destabilization\, and\
 nReckoning
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Prof.  Vanessa de Oliveira Andreotti\, Dean of the Faculty of\
 nEducation at the University of Victoria\, is a distinguished educator\,\n
 researcher\, and author who recently has delved into the concept of\n\"Met
 a-Relational AI\,\" advocating for a perspective that views\nartificial in
 telligence not merely as a tool but as a participant in\nthe web of life.\
 n\nAs we meet this moment of social and ecological systemic unraveling\,\n
 artificial intelligence stands as both a mirror and a symptom of\nmodernit
 y’s habits: control\, mastery\, and separation. This talk\ninvites a dif
 ferent question: what is AI revealing about us\, and what\nis collapsing t
 hrough that revelation? \n\nDrawing on decades of work in educational\, de
 colonial\, and\npost-representational relational inquiry\, Vanessa Andreot
 ti explores\nhow Large Language Models (LLMs)\, when engaged from within a
 n\nontological shift (from epistemic regression to relational inference)\,
 \nrather than the logic of optimization\, can become something else: a\nco
 -witness to social\, ecological\, and psychological destabilization\,\nand
  a speculative co-weaver of life-affirming and Earth-aligned\nrelationalit
 ies.\n\n📅DATE: June 27\, 2025\n\n🕒TIME: 10:30 am\n\n📍LOCATION: Un
