Overview

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming every aspect of our lives. Smarter Planet or Wiser Earth analyzes the challenges and proposes systematic dialogical strategies to address them. Using the best of contemporary research on conflict resolution and peacemaking including Quaker, Gandhian, Indigenous, and other traditions, methods of collaborative reasoning and ethical choice are proposed, including specific ways to teach ethics and run our economy, politics, and technology. That includes redesigning the AI systems and practices that govern our world. We must shift to new forms of programming that draw on collaborative dialogue instead of relying solely on monological forms of linear algorithmic inference. It offers paths to spirit-led, collaborative wisdom and partnerships with researchers and activists creating solutions to existential threats from ecological collapse, climate change, wars of mutually assured destruction, and out of control technology.
