The Futures We Can Build: Coordinating Complexity Across Canada with Dr. Rik Logtenberg
Canada is at a crossroads facing simultaneous crises in climate resilience, economic productivity, housing affordability and institutional effectiveness. Join Rik Logtenberg, Dirdctor of CanAdapt for an inspiring talk and interactive workshop demonstrating how complexity science, AI, and community-led systems thinking can accelerate CAnada's transition.
Meta-Relational AI in a Tim e of Saturation, Destabilization and Reckoning with Dr. Vanessa Andreotti
As we meet this moment of social and ecological systemic unraveling, artificial intelligence stands as both a mirror and a symptom of modernity’s habits: control, mastery, and separation. This talk invites a different question: what is AI revealing about us, and what is collapsing through that revelation?
Drawing on decades of work in educational, decolonial, and post-representational relational inquiry, Vanessa Andreotti explores how Large Language Models (LLMs), when engaged from within an ontological shift (from epistemic regression to relational inference), rather than the logic of optimization, can become something else: a co-witness to social, ecological, and psychological destabilization, and a speculative co-weaver of life-affirming and Earth-aligned relationalities.
