What if we listened to the complex clicks of whales and could understand their meanings? What would we hear and how might we respond? More-Than-Human (MOTH) Life Collective founder César Rodríguez-Garavito, artist and technologist James Bridle, and author Rebecca Giggs come together in this conversation with Emergence executive editor Emmanuel Vaughan-Lee to explore the ethical, legal, and relational implications of a new project using AI machine learning to translate the speech of sperm whales. Contemplating the human-centric linking of language with intelligence, the moral complexities of collecting and using these translations, and what it might mean to have an ear for “whale-ish,” they discuss whether a shared language is even needed to find a depth of kinship with whales.

Čtení s Respektem #11 s Terezou Vandrovcovou, Michalem Kindernayem a Pavlem Turkem o knize Způsoby bytí a sebestředném pohledu lidí na inteligenci. Moderuje Štěpán Sedláček.

In this expansive conversation from our archive, writer, artist, and technologist James Bridle looks at how the glorification of our own intelligence has shaped the history of technology, and anticipates in our future an “ecological turn” in the way we view and create it. James draws on principles of decentralized knowledge systems, a redistribution of agency among all beings, and an embrace of what is unknowable to envision how our technology could move away from the reductionism of ones and zeros and towards reflecting other kinds of intelligence and the ways we are intimately connected to the world.  Read the transcript.

Alan Turin's ‘automatic machine' remains the blueprint for nearly all of our modern computer systems. In an early paper however Turin wrote: ‘of course another type of machine is possible. This is the Oracle Machine and I will not speak of that.' Our guest for this mini episode however, will. James Bridle is the author of Ways of Being and an artist whose work deals with the ways in which the digital, networked world reaches into the physical, offline one. James shares their thoughts on why computers can't do random and what our computers of the future might look like. We also touch on the role that randomness play in evolution and how it can radicalise our political systems.  With James Bridle and special guest ORAC  www.jamesbridle.com

There are many lenses through which we can view the world, and that's especially true when considering the technologies associated with artificial intelligence. In this episode, James Bridle, author of Ways of Being, joins to explore a multitude of perspectives relating to our ongoing relationship with technology. James' book explores the interplay between animals, plants, and machines in the search for planetary intelligence. James offers a broad vision of "thinking" systems that draws from biology, physics, and computation and spurs an investigation of what a corporation is and could become. Robb, Josh, and James have a dynamic discussion, trying on various lenses for viewing intelligence and uncovering new ideas about technology along the way.

In the latest episode of the Rosenfeld Review, Lou sits down with social scientist Tricia Wang, coiner of the term “thick data,” and formerly a partner at Sudden Compass. Tricia is passionate about research and AI. She envisions massively improved research outcomes and opportunities for researchers, but only if researchers take the lead in incorporating AI into their work. Rather than seeing themselves as “users” of AI tools, researchers must work as AI's “shapers,” serving as its senior partner. Tricia's vision is to cease the fear-mongering surrounding the subject of AI and instead embrace the amazing opportunities for growth and better work by becoming active in the control of AI's future. What You'll Learn from this Episode: - The truth about the potential for AI use in research and the gift that it actually is - The difference between a “user” and a “shaper” in the digital age - The importance of taking an active role in the development of AI in the future - How being an asset class dehumanizes us as people Quick Reference Guide: [0:16] - Lou's introduction of Tricia Wang [2:52] - Tricia discusses our future and how we talk about AI [3:49] - Thoughts on the narrative of fear-mongering we have in the West about AI [5:47] - The relationship between humans and AI [5:59] - A new framework: users vs shapers [9:07] - The problem with taking on a passive role with a technology unlike anything we have ever seen [11:06] - People who use AI successfully are active shapers [15:33] - Info on Advancing Research 2024 [17:23] - How users, shapers, and AI affect the field of research [20:42] - The existential question of what it really means to be a researcher [31:28] - Tricia's advice concerning using AI in research [35:07] - Tricia's gift for the audience [38:34] - Tricia wants to hear from you Resources and Links from Today's Episode: Tricia Wang https://www.triciawang.com/ Sudden Compass https://www.suddencompass.com/ James Bridle, Ways of Being: Animals, Plants, Machines: The Search For A Planetary Intelligence https://www.amazon.com/Ways-Being-Machines-Planetary-Intelligence/dp/0374601119 Brett Christopher, Rentier Capitalism: Who Owns the Economy, And Who Pays For It? https://www.amazon.com/Rentier-Capitalism-Owns-Economy-Pays/dp/1788739728 Advancing Research 2024 https://rosenfeldmedia.com/advancing-research/2024/

Notre ignorance et notre arrogance : “nous ne comprenons pas les intelligences qui nous entourent”. Animaux, plantes et machines...James Bridle est un auteur, artiste et penseur de la technique dont le travail porte essentiellement sur les liens entre la technologie, cognition et société.Cette conversation est en lien avec son sujet de recherche et je suis appuyé sur son dernier livre « Toutes les intelligences du monde »pour préparer l'interview.James nous invite à questionner la manière dont nous définissons l'intelligence et à nous rendre compte que nous ne comprenons quasiment rien à l'intelligence du monde vivant qui nous entoure. Pour lui, le développement des technologies numériques, des réseaux et des IA est l'occasion d'imaginer que d'autres formes de communications et d'intelligences sont possibles et que nous ferions bien de nous intéresser de plus près à toutes celles qui nous entourent déjà. Personnellement j'ai beaucoup aimé cette conversation qui m'a fait prendre du recul sur l'arrogance des humains envers les autres formes de vie et aussi envers nos ancêtres. En extrapolant, on peut imaginer que ce sentiment de supériorité nous permet de justifier plus ou moins consciemment la destruction ou l'exploitation de tous ce qui n'est pas nous.On parle de plantes qui entendent et mémorisent, de poulpe qui s'évade, du réseau secret des forêts, de la difficulté à délimiter notre propre personne, du langage comme limite à la compréhension de la complexité du monde, des origines animales de l'alphabet, de surprenantes découvertes archéologiques, de mise en réseau, des développements inexplorés de l'IA, d'IA en tant qu'ouverture vers d'autres formes d'intelligences, des pistes de changement de paradigme à grande échelle.Interview enregistrée le 16 novembre 2023NB : L'épisode est en anglais, vous pouvez retrouver le résumé et la vidéo sous-titrée sur sismique.frCet épisode est soutenu par Cyberghost VPN.

We come at last to the final in the AI For Magicians series of solo shows. This time we explore how we co-create with non-human beings and what that AI co-creation looks like for magicians. As is traditional, there is a video slide presentation that goes along with this episode, which you absolutely do not need to watch if you're vibing more with the audio. Show Notes Ursula K. LeGuin and Donna Haraway discuss technology. James Bridle discussing Ecological Technology on the Emergence Magazine podcast. Previous episodes in the AI series: Tools of the Magician Transhumanism, Technocracy and AI: The Complete Story Can We Trust AI To Censor Reality?

Interrogating where AI models originate from and who they serve, writer, artist, and technologist James Bridle questions our fundamental assumptions about intelligence in this expansive interview. Acknowledging the correlation between our narrow definition of intelligence and what our technologies look like, they wonder how an embrace of the unknowable and the unpredictable in our technology might in fact allow us to widen our thinking beyond the humancentric and step deeper into the mystery and intelligence of the living world.

durée : 00:03:00 - Un Monde connecté - par : François Saltiel - Explorer diverses formes d'intelligence au-delà de l'humain, c'est l'idée développée par James Bridle dans son livre "Toutes les intelligences du monde".

What can we learn from other forms of intelligence and personhood, and how can we change our societies to live more equitably with one another and the non-human world? In this episode of Read with Bruegel series, Giuseppe Porcaro welcomes James Bridle to discuss his latest book ‘Ways of Being: Animals, Plants, Machines: The Search for a Planetary Intelligence.' They discuss the effects of Artificial Intelligence and new technologies on our society, economics, politics and everyday life. They delve into the relationship human beings have with the other beings we share the planet with. They also discuss the contribution of art and of artistic practices and why we should build more bridges between artists, economists, and political scientists.

What is intelligence beyond, preceding, and following human intelligence?  This week, Ayana is joined by guest James Bridle in a conversation that considers multiple forms of intelligence and ways of being. Bringing a rich background of research on forms of intelligence, from artificial to mycelial, James posits that it is a critical failure to use human intelligence as the benchmark for all forms of knowing. Seeing intelligence as both relational and embodied, James points out that knowing has never been an independent or alienated act. Rather, it is our specific set of modern conditions which primes us for alienation and separation – both from ourselves and from the earth. James encourages listeners to move from helplessness and fear to agency.  In the same way that human agency created these systems and methodologies, we can also harness our agency to change the way they are used, to rethink our relationships to technology itself. How we heal our relationships is how we heal the world. James Bridle is a writer, artist and technologist. Their artworks have been commissioned by galleries and institutions and exhibited worldwide and on the internet. Their writing on literature, culture and networks has appeared in magazines and newspapers including Wired, the Atlantic, the New Statesman, the Guardian, and the Financial Times. They are the author of 'New Dark Age' (2018) and 'Ways of Being' (2022), and they wrote and presented "New Ways of Seeing" for BBC Radio 4 in 2019.

James Bridle denkt unkonventionell: Die Natur ist nicht vom Recht des Stärkeren geprägt, sondern von Kooperation und Solidarität. Ökologie schliesst Technologie nicht aus – im Gegenteil. Und intelligent ist nur, was die Menschen friedlich zusammenleben lässt. Zu schön, um wahr zu sein? James Bridle kommentiert seit vielen Jahren mit spitzer Feder digitaltechnologische Neuerungen für renommierte Medien wie den «Guardian», «Wired» oder «The Atlantic». In preisgekrönten Kunstwerken macht Bridle auf Missstände in der britischen Migrationspolitik aufmerksam und kritisiert die Aushöhlung der Privatsphäre durch Digitalkonzerne. Das neueste Buch «Die unfassbare Vielfalt des Seins. Jenseits menschlicher Intelligenz», das gerade weltweit für Furore sorgt, wirft einen unkonventionellen Blick auf die Umwelt; ein Blick, der zwischen Natur und Technik nicht länger unterscheidet. Ausschlaggebend ist allein die Frage: Wie kann eine Zukunft gebaut werden, in der Bäume, Tiere, Pilze, Menschen und künstliche Intelligenzen friedlich zusammenleben? Barbara Bleisch trifft James Bridle zu einem Gespräch, das gedankliche Grenzen sprengt. Diese Sendung ist eine Wiederholung vom 26. März 2023.

At the RHS, we try to think critically about the ways we cultivate the earth and interact with the wildlife that inhabit our green spaces everyday. But this week, in honour of Earth Day, we wanted to take extra time to really celebrate our gardens – and to share our love for the many plants and animals that bring them to life. Gardener and writer Ben Dark shares a history of the tulip that stretches back 1,000 years, RHS Senior Ecologist Gemma Golding chats with us about her exciting wildlife research, and artist and author James Bridle takes us through his exploration of the intelligence of plants. Plus, throughout the show we've sprinkled in plant love letters from Alice Vincent, Victoria Bennett, and Sue Mabberley.    Links:   The Grove: A Nature Odyssey in 19 ½ Front Gardens   iNaturalist   Ways of Being: Animals, Plants, Machines: The Search for a Planetary Intelligence   RHS Sustainability Strategy

In this episode, we welcome writer, artist, and technologist, James Bridle. James's artworks have been commissioned by galleries and institutions and exhibited worldwide and on the internet. They are the author of New Dark Age (2018) and Ways of Being (2022), and they wrote and presented the radio series "New Ways of Seeing" for BBC Radio 4 in 2019. Join us as James investigates and complicates modernity's entanglement with contemporary technology. Ever careful not to throw the baby out with the bath water, they urge us to think critically about the impact of technological advances particularly as they are embedded within dynamics of power, systems of complexity, and definitions of “intelligence”. In breaking down the fallacy of the earth as a computational model, James places emphasis on the process of cultivating relationships which is at the heart of thinking and feeling—processes that call on us to activate technologies of relationality.

It's so easy to feel separate from the world - indeed we're taught in many ways that human beings are in some profound way separate, different, and apart from nature. So what happens when we start to allow the world around us to be our teacher... when we look within us to find resonance with that which we find around us? And when we let the living and non-living world teach us new ways of relating, understanding, acting and loving? This week's Turning Towards Life is hosted, as always, by Lizzie Winn and Justin Wise of Thirdspace. Turning Towards Life, a week-by-week conversation inviting us deeply into our lives, is a live 30 minute conversation hosted by Justin Wise and Lizzie Winn of Thirdspace.  Find us on FaceBook to watch live and join in the lively conversation on this episode. You can find videos of every episode, and more about the project on the Turning Towards Life website, and you can also watch and listen on Instagram, YouTube, and as a podcast on Apple, Google, Amazon Music and Spotify. Here's our source for this week: Nature is Imagination [The phrase] the ‘more than human world' refers to a way of thinking which seeks to override our human tendency to separate ourselves from the natural world… the erroneous idea that there is a neat divide between humans and non-humans, between our lives and the teeming, multitudinous living and being of the planet. The ‘more than human world' acknowledges that the very real human world - the realm of our senses, breath, voice, cognition and culture - is but one facet of something vastly greater. All human life and being is inextricably entangled with and suffused by everything else. This broad commonwealth includes every inhabitant of the biosphere: the animals, plants, fungi, bacteria and viruses. It includes the rivers, seas, winds, stones and clouds that support, shake and shadow us. These animate forces, these companions on the great adventure of time and becoming, have much to teach us and have already taught us a great deal. We are who we are because of them, and cannot live without them… [These] things are beings: not passive props in the drama of our own preoccupations, but active participants in our collective becoming… Everything is really everyone, and all those beings have their own agency, points of view, and forms of life... [And] Being itself is relational: a matter of interrelationship. All that is required for sticks and stones to leap into life… is our own presence... There is only nature, in all its eternal flowering, creating microprocessors and datacentres and satellites just as it produced oceans, trees, magpies, il and us. Nature is imagination itself. [Let us] begin to imagine anew, with nature as our co-conspirator: our partner, our comrade and our guide. James Bridle, from 'Ways of Being' jamesbridle.com Photo by Hamish Duncan on Unsplash

You might want to take a walk with this one. It is big and full of brain food and an enlivening opening of imagination to possibilities that are emergent now: the notion of the “broad commonwealth of life” that we are “inextricably entangled with and suffused by”; the paradox that the more accurately you try to measure some things, the more unmeasurable they become; the way words we use all the time have kept our cellular belonging to the natural world alive, even as civilization forgot. The technologist/artist James Bridle brings all of this into interplay with an intriguing, refreshing lens on our lives with technology — and with all that artificial intelligence is and might become.You might not think of intelligence the same way again, or the truth of mythology, or the letters of the alphabet, or what it means to be human. And you will smile next time you access the place where your digital life is stored and realize what it says about us that we named it The Cloud.James Bridle is an artist and technologist and author of the books Ways of Being: Animals, Plants, Machines: The Search for a Planetary Intelligence and New Dark Age: Technology and the End of the Future. Their writing has appeared in The Guardian, Wired, The Atlantic, and many other places.

You might want to take a walk with this one. It is big and full of brain food and an enlivening opening of imagination to possibilities that are emergent now: the notion of the “broad commonwealth of life” that we are “inextricably entangled with and suffused by”; the paradox that the more accurately you try to measure some things, the more unmeasurable they become; the way words we use all the time have kept our cellular belonging to the natural world alive, even as civilization forgot. The technologist/artist James Bridle brings all of this into interplay with an intriguing, refreshing lens on our lives with technology — and with all that artificial intelligence is and might become.You might not think of intelligence the same way again, or the truth of mythology, or the letters of the alphabet, or what it means to be human. And you will smile next time you access the place where your digital life is stored and realize what it says about us that we named it The Cloud.James Bridle is an artist and technologist and author of the books Ways of Being: Animals, Plants, Machines: The Search for a Planetary Intelligence and New Dark Age: Technology and the End of the Future.

B Covington, a multi-modal sound artist whose work is as formally challenging as it is joyfully satisfying, was in New York last month and sat down for a conversation with me at my office in Brooklyn. I enjoyed our time so much an it is the first episode of Informer that was recorded in person. We started by talking about the incredibly radical work of the Public Television Workshop, creators of Sesame Street, and the influence that had on B's practice and his ideas around "public narrativity". Our rollicking, wide-ranging conversation then took us many places, including their contemplation of the media's framing of the relationship between Michael Jackson and his sister LaToya and how that acts as inspiration for their new composition. I also enjoyed B's thinking about ways we might work more closely with AI as a creative force.I think of this conversation as part 3 in my "AI Personhood" series that began with an interview with K Allado McDowell, followed by James Bridle in episode 17. I encourage you to check those out if you haven't already.

Can a 40-hour film of a Massachusetts garden or a project documenting rice growing over 40 years help us to understand our planet better? Who makes and who watches such projects? Matthew Sweet is joined by film historian Becca Voelcker who has watched projects recorded in Japan, Colombia, Scotland and America; Thomas Halliday, whose book Otherlands charts the changes in the earth's ecologies through deep time; and by environmentalist Rupert Read, who is Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of East Anglia and has been thinking about what an eco-spirituality would look like. Plus, artist James Bridle, whose book Ways of Being investigates how far beyond humanity we can extend concepts like 'person', 'intelligence', and 'solidarity'. Producer: Luke Mulhall

“What would it mean to build artificial intelligence and other machines that were more like octopuses, more like fungi, or more like forests?” asks James Bridle in their new book, “Ways of Being.” From computers made of crabs, to theories of plant memory, to the legal push for an elephant's personhood, “Ways of Being” looks beyond human intelligence to examine how our technology could better encompass the Earth's complexity. Exploring different forms of intelligence — and all we don't know about our world — Bridle argues that we can develop partnerships with non-threatening AI, rethink our computers, reform our politics and even save our shared planet.

James Bridle imagines new modes of invention and engagement inspired from relationships with non-human beings. He's a fascinating thinker and this is one of my favorite conversations.His relentless inquiry into how we can co-create technologies that better serve the world, not just a few humans, is inspiring. His latest book, Ways of Being, is a tour-de-force of imagining not only how our definitions of intelligence can expand to be more all-encompassing to how these new definitions can open new ways of imagining our relationships to machines. James BridleCharles StrossEduardo Viveiros de Castro

I joke at the beginning of the episode that James wrote the best book I read this year that I didn't write. But actually, it's true. Ways of Being is an excellent book that toils in many of the same vineyards as Ani.Mystic. So James and I discuss our notions of technology, artificial intelligence, publishing, language and how these all interrelate and are interdependent. We also have an excellent discussion on the true significance of randomness as well as speculating on political and technological futures. Enjoy! Show Notes Get Ways of Being.

Aris Komporozos-Athanasiou, Professor of Sociology at University College London, argues in Speculative Communities (Chicago) that speculation is no longer confined to the sphere of finance, but has, through virtual marketplaces, new social media and dating apps, become an integral part of the most intimate realms of our lives. Komporozos-Athanasiou will be in conversation with economist Grace Blakeley, author of Stolen: How to Save the World from Financialisation, James Bridle, author of New Dark Age, and Will Davies, Reader in Political Economy at Goldsmiths and author of Nervous States.
