Thanks for sharing this Danielle,
And this prompts me to share Making Kin with the Machines, a wonderful
article by Jason Lewis, Noelani Arista, Archer Pechawis and Suzanne Kite.
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/326614247_Making_Kin_with_the_Machines
I first came across it republished as a chapter in the (very enjoyable) Atlas
of Anomalous AI <https://ignota.org/products/atlas-of-anomalous-ai> edited
by Ben Vickers & K Allado-McDowel.
It proposes that indigenous protocols and customs are an expression of the
best ontologies and epistemologies for healing the land and should
therefore be central to all AI developments.
Drawing on a range of indigenous systems of knowledge it argues
convincingly against the grave error of centering of human flourishing in
Joi Ito's Resisting Reduction Manifesto
<https://jods.mitpress.mit.edu/pub/resisting-reduction/release/17>.
They argue that because knowledge is born of relationship with the land,
human ethics demands disciplined and respectful making kin with all things
(who are also beings) on earth - aiming for long term balance, and openness
to the mystery of relating to multiple sentiences.
I think this struck me especially strongly as I have spent the winter
holidays taking solace in tramping through dank woodlands and a powerful
feeling of being welcomed by the society of trees that live there.
Warmly
Ruth
