How AI Cheapens Design (At a Great Ecological Cost)
It doesn’t come as much of a surprise to learn that, environmentally speaking, AI is an extremely wasteful and destructive technology. It’s rare that you can nail down the ecological cost of an image.

Listen to this episode from FUTURE-PROOF on Spotify. DEEP-DIVE is a series of public talks, each delving deeper into a specific topic already highlighted by a project at Blessed Foundation, enabling the nuances of important questions to be explored. The first DEEP-DIVE episode coincides with the exhibition currently on display at Blessed Foundation - RAPTURE by Andrea Khôra. We explore key themes in Andrea’s work, focusing on psychedelics and AI. Hear from Shaneihu Yawanawá, Utxi Yawanawá, Yawatume Yawanawá and Maria Fernanda Gebara, who share their views on the psychedelics boom from the perspective of indigenous traditions and ethics. We're also joined by Neşe Devenot, whose research was a major influence in Andrea’s work, offering a critical assessment of the collision of psychedelics and capitalism. With further insights from Andrea Khôra and Sylwia Serafinowicz (Managing Director at Blessed Foundation), dive into this episode for an inspiring and thought-provoking exploration of ancestral intelligence vs artificial intelligence. RAPTURE by Andrea Khôra is showing at Blessed Foundation until 27th June 2024. Contact info@blessed-foundation.org for more information.
Seeing Like a Data Structure | Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs
Our data-centric way of seeing the world isn't serving us well. Barath Raghavan and Bruce Schneier argue that we need new socio-technical systems that leave room for the inherent messiness of reality.
Join Dr Eleanor Drage and Dr Kerry McInerney as they ask the experts: what is good technology? Is ‘good’ technology even possible? And how can feminism help us work towards it? Each week, they invite scholars, industry practitioners, activists, and more to provide their unique perspective on what feminism can bring to the tech industry and the way that we think about technology. With each conversation, The Good Robot asks how feminism can provide new perspectives on technology’s biggest problems.
