Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK), a general capture of diverse worldviews bridging back across cultures and centuries, may aid in such reflection, as we ask what we as humanity value, what we understand of climate change and our earth systems, and what we need in order to survive and thrive as part of our local and global ecologies. In this HAI retreat, we will be exploring the intersection of ethical AI with traditional ecological knowledge, patterns and processes, and their inter-relationship (in conflict, in contradiction, in vulnerability and risk, in opportunity and potential harmony) acr

But it is in Buddhist thought and practice that Hershock finds the tools for valuing and training our attention, resisting the colonization of consciousness, and engendering a more equitable and diversity-enhancing human-technology-world relationship. Focusing on who we need to be present as to avoid a future in which machines prevent us from either making or learning from our own mistakes, Hershock offers a constructive response to the unprecedented perils of intelligent technology and seamlessly blends ancient and contemporary philosophies to envision how to realize its equally unprecedented promises.
