ECOLOGICAL BURNOUT



Increasingly, A.I. infrastructure contributes to ecological crises. Will or has creative A.I. in its current form become unsustainable or unacceptable as a form of practice? Are there ethical options for companies in media industries like games? Can we use the principles of meaning making, but not the harmful technologies of AI in our work? Or perhaps we should think more like natural networks, embracing a slower, more planetary pace to adopting AI tools?
